Manchester City's title hopes took a hit after a 3-3 draw at Everton in a chaotic six-goal thriller. Pep Guardiola's side led 1-0 through Jeremy Doku but collapsed during a disastrous 13-minute spell, conceding three times through Thierno Barry's double and Jake O'Brien's header. The visitors salvaged a point when Doku struck again in the 97th minute, but the result means they've lost ground on league leaders Arsenal.

Arsenal now control the destiny of the Premier League trophy after City dropped two points against a side fighting for European qualification. Guardiola admitted the title "is not in our hands" as his team's defensive vulnerabilities exposed them to Everton's attacks. The Citizens have conceded eight goals from set-pieces this season, as many as in their previous two campaigns combined, raising questions about their ability to handle pressure in decisive moments.

City's dramatic rescue act masks deeper concerns for the champions-elect. With three home games remaining plus an away fixture at in-form Bournemouth, Guardiola's team must win all their matches and hope for Arsenal to slip up. Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher drew parallels to 2014 when City's late draw against Sunderland ultimately proved decisive, but this time around, the Gunners hold all the cards with their destiny firmly in their own hands.
