In one of the most chaotic finishes of the season, Manchester City snatched a dramatic 3-3 draw against Everton thanks to a stunning stoppage-time strike from Jeremy Doku.
With seconds left and defeat looming, Doku produced a moment of brilliance, curling a sensational effort into the top corner in the 97th minute to rescue a point. It was a dramatic end to a game that had completely swung out of City’s control after they looked comfortable early on.
City initially appeared in command but then collapsed during a chaotic spell, conceding twice in quick succession as Everton surged from behind to take a 3-1 lead. Even after Erling Haaland pulled one back to give them hope, it still felt like too little, too late — until Doku stepped up with a moment of magic.
The draw leaves City with mixed emotions. On one hand, they showed resilience and determination to fight back. On the other, this was a must-win match in the title race, and dropping points could prove costly. They now sit five points behind Arsenal, who remain firmly in control at the top.
As the season edges toward its conclusion, results like this could define the outcome. City proved they still have the character of champions, but they also showed vulnerabilities that may ultimately cost them.
In a title race this tight, a single moment can change everything — and while Doku’s goal may have saved a point, it might not save their season.
