By Shamoon Hafez Manchester City reporter at Hill Dickinson Stadium A chaotic 13-minute spell from Manchester City in the second half of a six-goal thriller at Everton could prove to be the visitors' undoing in the Premier League title race. Though Erling Haaland instantly pulled a goal back and Belgium winger Doku earned a point with a stunning late leveller, City ultimately lost ground on leaders Arsenal this weekend. We will see what happens." Arsenal now know three wins from their final three matches will secure a first title since 2004. Nothing is done."

City, though, will be left extremely concerned by their capitulation against Everton , having gone ahead but been unable to see out the game.
City fans who had left the stadium had to scramble back when Haaland scored to give their side hope, before Doku earned a point. Really, really good. City only managed to snatch a draw from the jaws of defeat at Everton , but how vital could that point be in three weeks' time? "City drew a game at home to [bottom club] Sunderland ... City could have been miles ahead at half-time and weren't.
Never expected Everton to take anything tonight but they played really well. City choked tonight hugely. Abid : As good as City are they seemed really inexperienced today.
