Guardiola admits Premier League title race is in Arsenal’s hands Pep Guardiola admits that Arsenal are in control of the Premier League title race after Man City dropped points to Everton on Monday night. Jeremy Doku put the visitors ahead at the Hill Dickinson Stadium with a brilliant strike on the stroke of halftime, but the Toffees hit back with three goals after the break. City managed to pull off a late comeback thanks to a goal from Erling Haaland and another stunner from Doku deep into stoppage time.
The result means City are now five points off leaders Arsenal with a game in hand. Their hopes are now dependent on the Gunners dropping points in their final three games of the season, but Guardiola says they will keep fighting to until the final day. Guardiola: Premier League title race is in Arsenal’s hands “Really good performance,” he told Sky Sports at full-time.
“We played an outstanding first half. It was so difficult with their physicality. “Second half, they made a step up.
We didn’t have as much control and we gave away the goal. After that they come back and make a proper English game, so aggressive in the duels. “But in general we made a really good performance.
“It’s not easy because they play so well defensively, with 10 players there and transitions with Beto with [Kiernan] Dewsbury-Hall. “We take the point and until it’s over, we’re going to continue.
