The breathtaking encounter at Hill Dickinson Stadium means City trail leaders Arsenal by five points with a game in hand, but Mikel Arteta’s Gunners now have their destiny in their own hands.

In a sensational Monday night match, City were left frustrated by Everton soaking up pressure and were in need of inspiration – Doku provided it three minutes before half-time with an unstoppable curler into the top corner.

But the Toffees improved markedly in the second half and got their reward with a deserved equaliser in the 68th minute.

Thierno Barry reacted quickest to a backpass from Marc Guehi which sold Gianluigi Donnarumma short and, although the strike was initially ruled out for offside, the goal stood after a check.
