West Ham United 2-2 Manchester City: Pep Guardiola's side keep title race in own hands

Manchester City recovered from a two-goal deficit at West Ham to keep the Premier League title race in their own hands, but a late penalty miss from Riyad Mahrez meant they missed the chance to effectively win it.

Pep Guardiola's side went into the game knowing that four points from their two remaining games would guarantee a sixth Premier League title, but were left shocked and two down at half-time after a brilliant double from Jarrod Bowen.

The winger raced on to a through ball from Pablo Fornals before rounding Ederson and slotting in from an acute angle halfway through the first half, before latching on to a Michail Antonio pass, as the visitors looked to play the offside trap, and placing past Ederson from the edge of the area to send a boisterous London Stadium into raptures.
