Arsenal have been handed a major boost in the Premier League title race after Manchester City were held to a draw by Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Everton looked set for a late win, but Jeremy Doku struck in stoppage time to salvage a point for Pep Guardiola’s side. However, the result is seen as costly in their pursuit of Arsenal at the top of the table.

Arsenal now sit five points clear of City, although Guardiola’s side have a game in hand. Mikel Arteta’s team strengthened their position with recent victories, including a 3-0 win over Fulham and another strong league performance against Newcastle, keeping them firmly in control of their title destiny.

Attention now shifts to Arsenal’s upcoming UEFA Champions League semi-final clash against Atlético Madrid at the Emirates Stadium, where they are chasing a place in the final.

Meanwhile, City face Brentford in their next Premier League fixture, a must-win game for both sides as City chase the title and Brentford push for European qualification.

Elsewhere, Manchester United secured a 3-2 win over Liverpool earlier in the week, boosting their hopes of returning to the UEFA Champions League next season after missing out for two years.

At the other end of the table and European race, Chelsea are struggling with a poor run of form, raising concerns they could miss out on European qualification if results do not improve.

With just a few matches left, the Premier League title race remains wide open, and the final matchdays could prove decisive for both the championship and European spots.
