Man City drop more points in title race as West Ham move out of relegation zone
With eight matches remaining, including a game in hand on leaders Arsenal - who still have to go to Etihad Stadium - it would be premature to say Manchester City's Premier League title race is over.
But Saturday evening, when Arsenal earned a dramatic late win over Everton before City were held at West Ham, felt as if it could be pivotal.
Not only because City are nine points behind the Gunners with only one game in hand, but because they looked wholly unconvincing in their draw at London Stadium.
After the game, City manager Pep Guardiola admitted he is still trying to find "balance" in his squad while talismanic striker Erling Haaland scrabbles for form.
