Pep Guardiola has conceded that Arsenal now hold the keys to the Premier League title after Manchester City stumbled to a dramatic 3-3 draw with Everton on Monday night.

The match at the Hill Dickinson Stadium was a rollercoaster from start to finish. City looked in control when Jeremy Doku fired them ahead with a stunning strike just before halftime. But the Toffees came roaring back in the second half, netting three goals to flip the script completely.

Credit to City, they didn't fold. Erling Haaland sparked a late comeback, and Doku delivered another jaw-dropping goal deep into stoppage time to rescue a point. But the damage was done—City now sit five points behind league leaders Arsenal, with just one game in hand.

Speaking after the match, Guardiola was candid about the shift in momentum. "Really good performance," he told Sky Sports. "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."

The City boss acknowledged the challenge ahead. "It's not in our hands. Before it was in our hands. Now, no. We have to do it in our four games that we have in the Premier League. We take the point and until it's over, we're going to continue."

For Arsenal fans, this is music to the ears. The Gunners control their own destiny, and City's hopes now hinge on their rivals dropping points in the final three matches. But Guardiola isn't throwing in the towel just yet—expect the champions to fight tooth and nail until the very last whistle.

Whether you're backing City's comeback or Arsenal's charge, one thing's certain: this title race is far from over, and every match counts.
