Jeremy Doku at the death! Belgian's breath-taking brace bails out Marc Guehi & Co. - but Pep Guardiola's men hand Arsenal huge title race advantage

Manchester City's Dramatic Draw with Everton

Jeremy Doku's sublime last-gasp equaliser salvaged a point for Manchester City in a dramatic 3-3 draw with Everton on Monday night, but a second-half capitulation means Pep Guardiola's side have still handed Arsenal a huge advantage in the Premier League title race.

City's Collapse and Doku's Heroics

City had led 1-0 at half-time, before imploding after the break and finding themselves two goals down with nine minutes to play. Despite putting their hosts under relentless pressure from the first whistle, it took City 43 minutes to break the deadlock, and they had to survive a huge scare of their own as Gianluigi Donnarumma crucially intercepted a cross to deny Beto a tap-in after half an hour. The effervescent Doku put them in front, sweeping a wonderful finish into the top corner from Rayan Cherki's simple pass.

  • City led 1-0 at half-time
  • Everton scored two goals in the second half
  • Doku scored a brace, including a last-gasp equaliser
The draw means City have handed Arsenal a huge advantage in the Premier League title race.

Implications for the Premier League Title Race

The draw means Manchester City have handed Arsenal a huge advantage in the Premier League title race. Pep Guardiola's men will look to bounce back and regain ground on their title rivals.
