Jeremy Doku has sent a defiant message to Arsenal and the Premier League: the title race is far from over. After scoring a stunning brace—including a dramatic 97th-minute equalizer—in Monday's electrifying 3-3 draw at Everton, the Manchester City winger insists his team will "fight until the end" to close the five-point gap on the league leaders.

The thrilling encounter at Hill Dickinson Stadium saw City push relentlessly, with Doku's late heroics salvaging a point that keeps their hopes alive, albeit barely. The draw means Pep Guardiola's side no longer controls their own destiny; they now need Arsenal to stumble in their final three matches against West Ham, Burnley, and Crystal Palace.

"We know how important it is to win those types of games," said a resolute Doku. "We did not give up and we are not going to give up. There are still some games. We are going to fight until the end, and at the end we will count the points."

While dropping two points stings, Doku emphasized the importance of resilience in a title chase that has seen City claw back from similar deficits before. "Disappointed but it is not over," he added. "We are going to recover now, take the positives, take the negatives and work on it."

With a packed schedule ahead—including a cup final on the horizon—the Belgian winger knows every point matters. "We have a busy schedule and we are going to look forward. We are still in two competitions and we have a final to play," he said. "One point is better than nothing. We came for three points and it did not work out."

For City fans and neutral observers alike, this is a reminder that even when the odds stack up, champions find a way to keep fighting. In the world of elite sport, and on the pitch, that never-say-die attitude is what separates the great from the legendary.
