Arsenal given title advantage after Man City draw

Jeremy Doku’s stoppage-time strike salvaged Manchester City a 3-3 draw at Everton, but a second half collapse handed the destiny of the Premier League title back to Arsenal on Monday.

Doku opened the scoring with a superb effort on his weaker foot, before Everton got themselves back on level terms through Thierno Barry.

Jake O’Brien gave the Toffees a 2-1 lead off a corner and Barry made it 3-1 after a Marc Guehi deflection. Off the resulting kickoff Erling Haaland found space in behind the Everton defence and managed to narrow the deficit with a flick over Jordan Pickford.

City pushed in the final 10 minutes and looked to be down and out, but Doku bent his strike into the top corner to secure the 3-3 draw at the Hill Dickinson.

The Gunners now just need to win their final three games to end a 22-year wait to become the champions of England.
