Main Story
Arsenal have seized control of the Premier League title race after Manchester City were held to a dramatic 3-3 draw by Everton, leaving Pep Guardiola’s side facing an uphill battle.
City appeared on course for victory after a dominant first-half performance culminated in Jeremy Doku’s opener. However, a collapse after the break allowed Everton to surge ahead.
Thierno Barry scored twice for Everton, with Jake O’Brien also finding the net as City’s defensive frailties were exposed.
City responded through Erling Haaland before Doku salvaged a point with a stoppage-time strike.
What’s Being Said
The result has shifted momentum firmly towards Arsenal, managed by Mikel Arteta, who now needs three wins from their remaining fixtures to secure a first league title in over two decades.
For City boss Pep Guardiola, the defensive errors that led to Everton’s goals will be a major concern at a critical stage of the season.
What’s Next
Arsenal face a crucial run-in against West Ham, Burnley, and Crystal Palace, while City must win their remaining matches and rely on Arsenal slipping to retain any realistic title hopes.
