Manchester City’s title bid was left in tatters after a 1-1 draw at relegation-threatened West Ham left them nine points behind leaders Arsenal.
Just three days after their Champions League dreams were shattered by a 3-0 defeat at Real Madrid, a second part of what until not long ago was a potential quadruple also went up in smoke.
It was a former Gunners player, Konstantinos Mavropanos, who did the damage with West Ham’s equaliser after Bernardo Silva had given City the lead.

Pep Guardiola had admitted the title race would be “over” if his side dropped points, while just 20 minutes before kick-off at the London Stadium, Arsenal had snatched two late goals to beat Everton.
It was also a big night at the other end of the pitch, with a point lifting West Ham out of the relegation zone for the first time since December.
