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 English Premier League (EPL) title back to Arsenal on Monday.

The Gunners now just need to win their final three games to end a 22-year wait to become EPL champions. City remain five points adrift of Mikel Arteta's team, with a game in hand.

Pep Guardiola's side appeared to be cruising when Doku (43rd min) opened the scoring at the end of the first half. However, City's error-strewn second half was punished by Thierno Barry (68th and 81st min) and Jake O'Brien (73rd min). Erling Haaland (83rd min) and then a sensational effort from Doku (97th min) did however rescue a point for City. "It's better than losing, It shows what type of team they are," said Guardiola on City's fightback, before adding: "It's [the title] not in our hands. Before it was, now it's not. We have games left. We will see what happens."
