Manchester City were held to a dramatic 3–3 draw against Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium in a rescheduled English Premier League match played on Monday, May 4, 2026.
A tense 13-minute spell in the second half of the thrilling six-goal encounter may have seriously damaged City’s hopes in the Premier League title race.
The match was one of the season’s most entertaining, and its outcome could have major consequences as the campaign reaches its conclusion.
Pep Guardiola’s side took the lead through Jeremy Doku, but then conceded three goals in just 13 minutes. Thierno Barry scored twice—one aided by a defensive error involving Marc Guehi—and Jake O’Brien added a headed goal to put Everton in control.
However, Erling Haaland quickly reduced the deficit, and Jeremy Doku struck again with a brilliant late equaliser to rescue a point for City. Despite the comeback, the draw means Manchester City dropped crucial points in the title race against leaders Arsenal.
This result leaves the championship race largely in the hands of Arsenal. City’s maximum possible points total now stands at 83, while Arsenal currently sit on 76 points.
Arsenal know that winning their remaining three matches will guarantee them the title, as they would reach 85 points and finish ahead of City.
