Man City drop points in title race as last-gasp leveller rescues draw at Everton

Manchester City’s title bid suffered a crushing blow despite them recovering from a second-half capitulation to snatch a 3-3 draw at Everton on Monday.

Jeremy Doku curled in a superb stoppage-time equaliser to earn City a point in their pursuit of Premier League leaders Arsenal, but the two dropped at Hill Dickinson Stadium could be highly damaging.

City had led 1-0 at half-time following Doku’s first goal of a dramatic night, but Everton hit back with three goals in the space of 14 minutes – substitute Thierno Barry scoring a double either side of a Jake O’Brien header.

Erling Haaland quickly responded as City battled back and Doku had the final say with the last kick of the game, denying Everton boss David Moyes a first career win over Pep Guardiola.

The result leaves City trailing Arsenal by five points with just one game in hand.
