Man City stutter but character shows vs. West Ham to keep Premier League title in their own hands

LONDON, England -- On a day when West Ham seemed determined to breathe new life into the Premier League title race, Pep Guardiola's Manchester City team did just enough to ensure the trophy is still theirs to lose.

Two goals down by half-time at the London Stadium on Sunday, City mounted a second half fightback to score two themselves, only for Riyad Mahrez to miss a late penalty when he had a chance to all but seal the trophy.

Now four points clear, with Liverpool having a game in hand, the point earned from the 2-2 draw means that if City can beat Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium on the final day of the season they will be champions.
