Title Race Slips From City's Grasp After Everton Draw

LIVERPOOL - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola admitted the Premier League title race has slipped out of his team's control after a chaotic 3-3 draw at Everton.

"It's now not in our hands," Guardiola said. City could have drawn level on points with leaders Arsenal but instead trail by five points, albeit with a game in hand.

Winger Jeremy Doku scored a dramatic 97th-minute equalizer. Erling Haaland, who scored in the 83rd minute, was heard telling teammates: "We're still in it."

City face Brentford, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, and Aston Villa in their final four games. Arsenal's remaining schedule appears easier on paper. City are still chasing a domestic treble, having won the League Cup and reaching the FA Cup final.
