Man City held at West Ham to take EPL title race to the wire

Manchester City came back from two goals down to earn a point at West Ham, but Riyad Mahrez missed a chance to win the game from the penalty spot with five minutes remaining.

Twice Jarrod Bowen was allowed to get behind the Manchester City defence in the first half and finished superbly to give the Hammers a 2-0 lead at the break.

Jack Grealish soon got City back into the game and then a freak own goal from Vladimir Coufal saw the game brought level.

Then, with time running out, Gabriel Jesus was brought down in the box by Craig Dawson and Mahrez shot to Lukaz Fabianski’s left but the goalkeeper parried the effort away.

Man City are now four points clear of Liverpool who have two games behind and are seven goals worse off in terms of goal difference.
