Riyad Mahrez MISSES his penalty and squanders a huge chance to put Man City on the brink of the Premier League title at West Ham as Pep Guardiola's side come from two goals down to claim a point

Riyad Mahrez got away with it last time. Will he this season? Find out next Sunday.

Almost certainly the title race will still be live by then. For this to be over, prematurely, Liverpool would need to lose at Southampton. Liverpool aren't going to lose at Southampton, just as Manchester City did not lose at West Ham. They looked like losing. A lesser team may well have lost. They trailed 2-0 at half-time. Yet City were not going to lose this. Indeed, they should have won.

That is where Mahrez comes in. He missed a penalty with seven minutes to go that would have as good as delivered the title to Manchester.
