Manchester City relinquished control of the Premier League title race to Arsenal after a dramatic late equalizer against Everton on May 4, 2026. The match, held at Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool, ended in a thrilling 3-3 draw. City lost their grip on the title as they blew a halftime lead.

City started strong and led 2-1 at halftime. Jeremy Doku scored two goals for City, while Erling Haaland added another. However, Everton responded fiercely in the second half. Thierno Barry netted two goals and Jake O’Brien added another to complete the comeback.

Key statistics:

• Final score: Manchester City 3, Everton 3
• Goals scored by Everton: 3
• Goals scored by Manchester City: 3
• Everton’s position: 10th place with 48 points
• City now trails Arsenal by 5 points

The match saw City dominate possession in the first half, holding 76%. Yet they could not maintain their lead as Everton capitalized on defensive lapses. David Moyes expressed disbelief over a missed penalty call against Bernardo Silva.
