Everton 3-3 Man City: Pep Guardiola’s side were ahead but conceded three goals in 13 second-half minutes, even if Jeremy Doku rescued a point in the seventh minute of stoppage time.
Manchester City conceded three goals in an extraordinary second-half collapse at Everton that hands Arsenal the advantage in the Premier League title race despite a late fightback that rescued a point.
Pep Guardiola’s side recovered to snatch a 3-3 draw at the Hill Dickinson Stadium but the damage was done when Everton substitute Thierno Barry scored a quickfire double either side of a Jake O’Brien header on a thrilling night.
Erling Haaland pulled one goal back before Jeremy Doku equalised in the 97th minute, but it still leaves Arsenal five points clear having played a game more than City and means Mikel Arteta’s side will be champions with three more wins.
Guardiola accepted City’s fate is no longer “in our hands” but Haaland was heard telling his team-mates the title is “still there” before facing Brentford on Saturday and Arsenal visiting relegation-threatened West Ham on Sunday.
