Arsenal Gain Edge as Man City Slip in Everton Thriller

City Held in Six-Goal Clash

Arsenal boosted their title hopes after Manchester City drew 3-3 with Everton on Monday.

A late goal from Jeremy Doku saved City from defeat. However, the result puts Arsenal in control of the title race.

Arsenal Close to Title

Arsenal now need three wins to secure their first league title in 22 years.

City are five points behind. They still have a game in hand, but the pressure is growing.

Second-Half Collapse Costs City

City looked strong in the first half. Doku gave them the lead after a dominant display.

The game changed after the break. Everton took advantage of defensive errors.

Thierno Barry scored twice for the hosts. Jake O’Brien added a header to complete the turnaround.

Late Fightback Not Enough

Erling Haaland pulled one back to give City hope.

Doku then scored a stunning goal in stoppage time to make it 3-3. The comeback earned a point but may not be enough in the title race.

Guardiola Reacts

City boss Pep Guardiola admitted his side have lost control.

“It’s better than losing,” he said. “But it’s not in our hands now.”

Key Fixtures Ahead

Arsenal, led by Mikel Arteta, face West Ham United next.

They will then play Burnley and Crystal Palace.

City must win their remaining games and hope Arsenal slip up.
