Arsenal’s title dream alive as Man City draws at Everton

Manchester City threw away a winning position at Everton on Monday night, drawing 3-3 after Jeremy Doku's stoppage-time goal rescued a point that should have been three. The slip means Arsenal now controls the Premier League title race with just three games left to play.

City went to Goodison Park looking to tighten their grip on the trophy, but Everton had other ideas. The hosts dragged themselves level twice before Doku's late intervention, a moment that felt more relief than celebration for Pep Guardiola's side.

For Arsenal, this is the opening they needed. The Gunners sit top of the table and know exactly what they must do: win their final three matches and the Premier League title is theirs for the first time since 2004. That 22-year drought would finally end.

City's collapse in the second half has handed momentum back to north London, where confidence will be high that the job can be finished. Arsenal's remaining fixtures will determine if this season becomes the year the club ends its longest trophy drought in the modern era.
