Manchester City dropped victory in a bitter way when they were held to a 3-3 draw by Everton in the 35th round of the Premier League, thereby pushing themselves into a difficult position in the championship race.
The away team entered the game proactively and controlled most of the game in the first half. In the 43rd minute, Jeremy Doku concretized the pressure with a beautiful curling shot from outside the penalty area, defeating Jordan Pickford, helping Pep Guardiola's team enter the break with a slim advantage.
However, the second half witnessed the unexpected collapse of Man City. In just over 5 minutes, the away team's defense continuously made mistakes. Starting was a disastrous pass error by Marc Guehi, creating conditions for Thierno Barry to score the equalizer in the 68th minute.
Continuing the excitement, Everton continuously put pressure. Jake O'Brien headed to increase the score to 2-1 from a corner kick situation in the 73rd minute. Not stopping there, Barry completed a double with a close-range finish, helping the home team take a 3-1 lead when the match passed the 81st minute.
In a position of being cornered, The Citizens were forced to push up the squad. Erling Haaland quickly narrowed the score, before Doku once again shined with a dangerous shot in injury time, keeping 1 valuable point for the away team.
This result makes Man City lose the advantage in the championship race when they are 5 points behind Arsenal (although there is still 1 match to play). Now, their hope depends not only on themselves but also on Arsenal's stumble in the final rounds.
