Defiant Guardiola insists City's title challenge not over
On Monday, May 4, Manchester City drew 3-3 with Everton, a result that handed Premier League title control to Arsenal after Jeremy Doku salvaged a point with a 97th-minute equalizer.
Defensive errors plagued City in the second half as Everton scored three times in 14 minutes, with Thierno Barry capitalizing on a Marc Guehi mistake in the 68th minute to spark the comeback.
Erling Haaland scored in the 83rd minute, but City remain five points adrift of Arsenal, prompting Pep Guardiola to admit, "It's now not in our hands."
Arsenal now need three wins to end a 22-year title drought, while Everton boss David Moyes lamented the draw's impact on their European berth pursuit as they sit 10th.
Key defenders Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol remain sidelined after missing at least six weeks, while midfielder Rodri is likely absent for Saturday's match against Brentford.
