The advantage remains with Manchester City.
A second 2–2 draw of the season between City and Liverpool leaves Pep Guardiola’s side a point clear at the top of the Premier League table with seven games remaining. In that sense it was job done for City: It has resisted the immediate threat of losing the lead and will wrap up a fourth title in five years, if it wins from here on in. And yet, given how superior it had been in the first half, there must also be a sense of an opportunity missed.
One of the problems of the modern Premier League, and the gulf that exists between top and bottom, is that highlighting doubts can feel ridiculous.
