A remarkable finale - but will 13 chaotic minutes cost Man City title?

BBC News highlights a dramatic and potentially title-deciding draw for Manchester City at Everton, where a shocking 13-minute collapse saw them squander a lead and drop vital points. The thrilling 3-3 encounter, marked by a chaotic spell in the second half, has shifted the Premier League title race firmly into Arsenal's favor.

From a British perspective, this match was a classic Premier League rollercoaster. While City's ability to fight back for a draw, thanks to Erling Haaland and Jeremy Doku, showcases their resilience, the defensive frailties exposed during that 13-minute period are deeply concerning for Pep Guardiola's side. The fact that Arsenal now controls its own destiny, needing just three wins from its final three games to secure the title, underscores the significance of City's slip-up.

“

It's better than losing. It shows what type of team they are. [The title is] not in our hands. Before it was, now it's not. We have games left. We will see what happens.

As BBC Sport pundits like Thierry Henry and Wayne Rooney suggest, the title race is far from over, but the momentum has undeniably swung. City will be left to rue those chaotic minutes, which could well prove to be the undoing of their title aspirations. The narrative now focuses on Arsenal's potential to clinch their first title since 2004, while City must hope for slip-ups from their rivals and win all their remaining fixtures.

I wouldn't be thinking 'we can afford to drop points now' if I was Arsenal, but it is back in their hands, that is a fact. I am going to stay in my lane, I am not going to celebrate too early. Nothing is done.
