Everton turned the game on its head and took a 3-1 lead shortly after regaining parity, but Jeremy Doku came on strong in the 97th minute to score a stunning equalizer to restore a point to the visitors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The result means City are no longer in control of their own destiny, with Arsenal having played one game more than Josep Guardiola&#8217;s side and now five points clear at the top of the table.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Although currently injured, Grealish was caught between a rock and a hard place on Monday night as an Everton player on loan from Manchester City.<\/p>\n<p><span data-testid=\"readmore\" class=\"ReadMore_readmore-prefix__xS44r __className_8b4018\">read more: <span class=\"ReadMore_readmore-link__eF9pN\">Arsenal take control of title race despite dramatic comebacks against Man City and Everton<\/span><\/span><span data-testid=\"readmore\" class=\"ReadMore_readmore-prefix__xS44r __className_8b4018\">read more: <span class=\"ReadMore_readmore-link__eF9pN\">How many points does Arsenal need to clinch the Premier League title after Man City opener?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">And although he was unable to take part in the match, footage of the 31-year-old chatting with referee Oliver was published in X. Neither team seemed too thrilled with the result, with Everton missing out on a famous victory thanks to Doc&#8217;s late goal, and City dropping a valuable point in the title race.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Guardiola admitted that with Arsenal holding all the cards, it would be difficult for City to beat Arsenal and claim the Premier League crown, even if they fall short of conceding a clean sheet. After the match, the player said, &#8220;We got the points, so we&#8217;re going to continue until the end of the game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;It&#8217;s better than losing.
