Citeh what just happened... game was going just okay with that 1nil lead not until the mess up , and personally felt like this game was getting boring 🥱😴 I stepped out for some air only to comeback to an Everton lead  

You know what Arsenal get your cup while the opportunity has now given you some confirmation, damn you City !! Can only imagine the celebrations that happened with that 2nd Everton goal..

No one predicted the 3-3 final score, maybe no one have imagined that. The goal from city in the last second, or Manchester City lost this game. Now they are five points behind Arsenal, so their chances of winning the title have dropped more than 50%. Arsenal still has to play vs Burnley, West Ham, and Crystal Palace. There are two teams fighting vs relegation and one team has only a little more points this season, they should be easy games. If Arsenal plays with there standard power, they will win all games.

Manchester City have thrown it just like that! How could they get 3-1 behind after getting ahead first? Especially while they were fighting for the league title?

This is really one of the worst Manchester City in the recent years. There is no change since last season... Will Arsenal take this opportunity to the championship finally I wonder? 

Leeds have a good match record in the last few matches while Chelsea are playing badly despite the standings above Leeds, I hope Tottenham don't underestimate Leeds, they could be a dark horse for Tottenham.

Yeah that's true. I just considered it on paper as teams like Chelsea and Everton are normally harder to deal with. But it's correct that Leeds have a much better form than both...

On paper,,,Arsenal are favourites against Burnley,West Ham or Crystal Palace. But teams fighting for points often become dangerous towards the end of the season...Perhaps the 3-3 draw against Everton was a blow for City, because they were almost losing the match from winning it. However, the last minute goal saved them a point, but Arsenal have taken control of the title race...It would be a mistake to write off City completely now. I say this because their squad has experience and they have a history of dealing with pressure at the last minute...And in reality,,,City will not only have to win their matches but also watch Arsenal drop points. Although Arsenal are in a good position, the title race is not over yet.

Seeing what happened in the game between Everton and Manchester city last night, maybe is like Arsenal is destined to lifting this season's trophy. The Manchester city football club won't forget the last night's game that's about changing/has changed the whole thing towards the end of the season and which is likened to be that of a mistake that can never be corrected. But regardless the situation, 2 points behind Arsenal at this critical moment of this premier League season isn't something to get scared of, until the very last game.

[pawel7777]

I hate to say it but it's most likely over for Man City. That lost 2 points will be really hard to make up for. Arsenal only has 3 games left and all of them are relatively easy, so it's more likely that Man City will lose more points in their remaining 4 games.
Man City's defence was pretty horrible at times. The first goal for Everton was handed to them on a silver platter, when Guehi just passed the ball to Everton's Barry, who had no trouble placing it in the net. You simply can't make mistakes like this at this level of competition and at the final stage of the season.

I'm more than 90% sure that Arsenal will finally lift the trophy after two decades of waiting. And I think they deserved it.

[MK-74]

Everton dealt a two-point blow to Manchester City.
Everton turned the match around from 1–0 down to 3–1, but they couldn’t hold on, and the game ended 3–3.

This is a very bad result for Manchester City, as the gap with Arsenal has increased to 2 points.

The Premier League is entering its final weeks and there is no margin for error for either team anymore.
The team that makes a mistake will lose the title. Maybe Manchester City lost the championship with this match.

City are once again giving a huge gift to Arsenal. All they needed was a win, I couldn’t believe it when I saw that the match had ended 3–3, and I was even more surprised when I checked and saw that City had been losing 3–1, and had to fight back until the very last minute of the game.

All I can say is that it was probably a good thing I missed this match, because I still had some doubts anyway. Well, I think this time Arsenal have to take full advantage of this gift. Today will be a very important match for them in the Champions League, and I think they’re strong enough to beat Atletico Madrid at home.

I hope Arsenal make full use of this opportunity this time, because they haven’t been able to do so before. In fact, they have dropped several points to Manchester City, which is how the gap was reduced to 2 points.

Arsenal still don’t fully convince me, and I’m worried they might miss their biggest chance. They haven’t won the league for many years, but they are very close this season, and I hope they can achieve it this year.

It is not over until it is over, I know Manchester City disappointed Manny that counted on them last night but the fight is not yet over, Arsenal still have 3 more games to play and Manchester City have four, and anything can still happen at the dying minute, because I know Arsenal too well that they are not really trust worthy, and again they have Westham United that is fighting to escape relegation, who knows they might equally draw the game too, I can only agree Arsenal won the league after they might have lifted it, if not so then they are yet to win it.

Manchester city drops important point and they make tough to close the gap with arsenal.  A mistake by Marc Guehi cost City a 2 point to close the gap with arsenal but the title race is not over it here because Arsenal remaining fixtures is difficult more then City fixtures so if any of the team drop point the title will be very much alive till the last match of the premier league.  But I think Arsenal are locked in for the remaining match and they are not look to drop any point easily so I think Arsenal can lift the premier league this time and not bottle the league again for man City

Hope Arsenal Can win the Premier league this time and not making any mistakes in the remaining matches City already give them a second chance they already give 2 chance at the start of season and then the recent one

Arsenal have shown more consistent this summer still you are speaking from the past experienced one thing is guaranteed yet until that league is actually lifted it's still open to man City. some Arsenal fans are still celebrating, but football does not work like to that Arsenal still have tougher matches ahead and pressure can change everything for Arsenal. If Arsenal win the three games that remains I believe they we left the trophy.

[execijutiere]

Everton drew 3-3 with Manchester City at home. No one expected the match to end this way. Manchester City managed to take the lead by scoring a goal toward the end of the first half. In the second half, despite Everton suddenly taking a 3-1 lead, City immediately responded through Haaland to make it 3-2, and in the final minutes, Doku’s goal allowed them to secure a point from this away match. We can say this was a significant loss of points for City. Given how dominant they were against the opposing team during the match, failing to secure a victory here might signal the end of their title hopes.

The game is still open for Manchester City for sure, but it's not an easy mission to complete, don't you think? 5 Points difference an Arsenal that is not clear what intentions they have to do, it seems that they want to push to complete this Championship, true that in the last game they won by 3 goals, but this does not reassure the fans.
I have believed in them at Arsenal since the start of this season I hope they succeed in their purpose, otherwise they will truly have to hide in shame.

To be honest, I was very happy with Manchester City's draw. I am not usually an Arsenal fan, but it was very difficult for me to see them lose again and again. However, this season I want to see them win at least one title. Even before yesterday, there was a big doubt about their title win, but City's loss of points has somewhat dispelled that doubt. City are now 2 points behind Arsenal, although City are actually 5 points behind, but if City win all their next matches, they will still be 2 points behind Arsenal.

No matter how much chance City give Arsenal, if Arsenal cannot utilize those opportunities, then maybe those opportunities will have no effect. We have seen before how Arsenal failed to utilize the opportunities properly and invited City for the title, City are also unable to utilize that opportunity. Now I want to see Arsenal move forward and I hope Arsenal will secure the title by winning the next 3 matches.

Manchester city has made a very terrible mistake yesterday by drawing with Everton. When the game fist started, Manchester city wanted to eat Everton raw not until second half everything changed and honestly I never believed for once that Everton will be a pain in the ass for Manchester city. I'm certain that Pep Guardiola will never forgive Everton and he won't forget yesterday if they didn't win the premier and frankly speaking they have lost the trophy to Arsenal because there is just 3 games left.

[Slow death]

Everton dealt a two-point blow to Manchester City.
Everton turned the match around from 1–0 down to 3–1, but they couldn’t hold on, and the game ended 3–3.

Before this game started, I saw Manchester City winning very easily, which is why I bet on them to win. Everton had gone three games without a win in their last three matches. I'm talking about games before this match against Manchester City. That's why I didn't even bother watching the game. When the first half ended with Manchester City winning, I became even more convinced that I didn't need to watch it.

45 minutes later, I decided to check the final score and was shocked. I was losing my bet because Manchester City was losing. 90 minutes had already passed, so I stayed watching. Although I had bet on Manchester City to win, I thought the referee's behavior was very poor. He added six extra minutes, but deliberately let those six minutes pass without any justifiable reason. He waited for Manchester City to equalize before ending the game, clearly favoring Manchester City. The referee's attitude in that game was very shameful.


Congratulations to David Raya for winning the Golden Glove. this is the third consecutive time he has won.

The first half wasn’t bad at all, City controlled the game well, scored a goal, and I was expecting them to score more before halftime. I think that in that case, Everton would have accepted more easily that City were likely to win. But once Everton managed to equalize, they started playing much more aggressively. I think they felt they had a real chance to hold City to a draw and take points from them.

After that, the game slipped out of City’s control, and I think they needed some time to regain their composure before eventually fighting their way back. Overall, it was an interesting but very difficult match, that’s why I think the draw isn’t the worst possible result in this case, but for City it could end up costing them the championship title.

[Volgastallion]

What the hell was the game from yesterday between Everton and Manchester City i mean City let it go the chane of becoming champion in a super silly game with ton of defensive errors, and Everton had the win in their hands before they make some other idiots mistakes in defense, one thing i want to point out is, why the VAR didnt call for a clear penalty in Everton favor?

[mitchr4]

Manchester City lost points indeed really hurt even they almost lose but luckily Jeremy Doku has scored at extra rime which make Manchester city can avoiding to lose but they only got 1 point from Everton and indeed this result is unfavourable for them because currently Manchester city has 5 points behind Arsenal and assuming if Arsenal keep winning for next 3 games then the winner of premier league is Arsenal but i am looking forward to see whether Arsenal has strong mentality or not because title race is very tight and there is no room for the mistakes because if Arsenal slipped i am sure Manchester city will taking chance to gets first place

To be fair, Manchester City's chances of catching Arsenal are getting smaller. Arsenal has been very consistent in winning their matches and their upcoming games against bottom-table teams should make things even easier for them. But things can still change, because one mistake can quickly give City a real chance to get back in the fight.

After Chelsea sacked Liam Rosenior and named Calcum McFarlane as interim head coach, i was expecting Chelsea to improve their performance and end their winningless run in the premier league against Nottingham Forest but it seems nothing is working for Chelsea right now as they could not win Nottingham Forest. Chelsea has played 6 premier league games without picking a win, they managed to score one goal in their last 6 games in the premier league. Chelsea chances of qualifying for next season champions league is very small right now, but if Aston Villa could win the Europa league and Chelsea finish 6th place in the league standings, they will qualify for the champions league.

I also didn't expect Everton to put up such a strong fight. With the score at 0-1 at halftime, it was clear the Everton players were determined not to give up. However a 3-3 draw wasn't what I expected at all. City chances are slim, and considering the three teams Arsenal will face, they have a great chance of securing the Premier League title this season.

I didn't see the whole match but I saw some positive improvements in terms of play compared to when Rosenior was still the coach, it's still losing but the improvement shows that in the hands of Calcum McFarlane there is hope for Chelsea in the next matches. We can't expect an immediate revival considering this is his first game. Adaptation is needed. And considering the remaining matches are just counting fingers, it is very difficult for Chelsea to qualify for the UCL next season even to qualify for the Europa league their chances are slim.
