Manchester City Draw with Everton Leaves Arsenal in Control of Premier League Title Race

Manchester City drew 3-3 with Everton after a late equalizer from Jeremy Doku, a result that leaves the Premier League title race largely in Arsenal's hands. City, now five points behind Arsenal with a game in hand, saw a second-half collapse allow Everton to take the lead before Haaland and Doku secured a draw. Arsenal need three wins from their remaining matches to secure their first league title in 22 years. City manager Pep Guardiola acknowledged the title is no longer in their control.
