Chapter 4: Has Victor Gyokeres been a successful signing for his team?

65.971 - 73.288

Everton 3, Manchester City 3. And somehow, Mike Miney, with the final whistle going, City have rescued a point.

0

73.437 - 86.04 Charlie Adam

Yeah, and who knows where that leaves Manchester City or Everton come May 24th and the final day of the season. Everton 3, Manchester City 3. Five of the six goals coming in a crazy second half.

Chapter 5: What went wrong for West Ham this weekend?

86.381 - 105.234 Charlie Adam

Jeremy Dokku opening the scoring with a curling effort just before the break. and then all hell let loose when Manchester City became masters of their own downfall. Firstly, Marc Gueye passing it back terribly, allowing Thierno Barry to steal in and steer it into the far left-hand corner. Moments later, Jake O'Brien's header from a corner had Everton 2-1 up.

105.554 - 114.43 Charlie Adam

Everton were too clear when Thierno Barry made it 3-1, assisted by Merlin Rule, cross low on the right-hand side and he just tapped it in with his left boot.

114.41 - 132.334 Charlie Adam

Manchester City from that kick-off instantly got one back to make it 3-2, Erling Haaland dinking over Jordan Pickford, and then in the seventh minute of stoppage time, Jeremy Doku at it again, this time with his right foot, curling effort, edge of the D, past the flying Jordan Pickford, and made it 3-3.

133.376 - 151.048 Charlie Adam

But Arsenal now have the advantage in terms of points in the title race, because Manchester City could only get one here. David Moyes still denied his first ever victory over Pep Guardiola in the Premier League, and Manchester City's great record over Everton comes to a little stall tonight as the players of Everton

Chapter 6: How has De Zerbi inspired Spurs to perform better?

151.028 - 174.066 Charlie Adam

certainly look a little bit perplexed how they've let that slip they did face an onslaught towards the end Manchester City fans in that corner in the northwest side are now pointing and waving their hands towards the players in support of their efforts to rescue a point tonight but it is absolutely the case of the word rescue because for that most of that second half the intensity that Everton played with

174.046 - 192.41 Charlie Adam

the surge forward of their players, the rawness of their fans, carried their team into a 3-1 lead. Manchester City claw it back in a great game of Premier League football on a Monday night, and somehow we end up with a fantastic scoreline of Everton 3, Manchester City 3.

0

192.75 - 217.034

Both sets of players look crestfallen, don't they? Oh, yeah, both were gutted, didn't they? They were that close, Everton, and... But again, you've got to play right to the last moment, and it's a lovely finish from Doku, but that's a big dent in the title race for Man City. But you've got to pick yourself up now and go again. So five points the difference between Arsenal and City.

217.174 - 242.333

City with the game in hand. They still have Palace at home, Brentford at home, Villa at home, and they have to go to Bournemouth. Arsenal still have to go to West Ham and Crystal Palace, and they have Burnley at home. It is surely now Arsenal's to lose, Rory.

0

242.753 - 243.774 Rory Smith

Yeah, absolutely.

Chapter 7: What does Hearts' progress mean for their title race?

244.736 - 263.74 Rory Smith

That late goal from Doku changes it a little bit. As I say, I think it means that Arsenal can't afford to lose a game. But yeah, that was the break they'd been waiting for. And I guess it proves that City's players are susceptible to nerves as well. We have been treating it as though the only team that can buckle in the title race is Arsenal. But that's not true because that's what City have...

263.72 - 274.613 Rory Smith

Arsenal laid down the gauntlet on Saturday. They beat Fulham 3-0. They got the win and the goal difference and said to City, go on then and see if you can catch us. And City couldn't, ultimately. They stumbled.

0

274.873 - 277.016 Shay Given

I don't think anyone's thought they're going to drop two points tonight.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of this weekend's results on the title race?

277.256 - 287.348 Shay Given

I really didn't think. We thought it was going to go to the last game of the season and then it's going to go to goal difference. We didn't think either team would drop. Now it's wide open. Arsenal has to be Arsenal's now. Do you think...

287.547 - 295.096

A little bit of this, Shea, shows there are several members of this City side who haven't been in this situation before.

0

295.817 - 309.454 Shay Given

Yeah, possibly. But I think that brings a hunger as well. You know, other players like Bernardo Silva, Haaland and Co should bring these players along. And of course, the likes of Gehi, Semenya and all these other players who haven't done it before. There'll be a hunger from them to do it, you know, and maybe...

0

310.109 - 319.758 Shay Given

I mean, Gehi, a couple of mistakes he's made tonight, I've not seen him make them in his whole career. It's kind of so unlike them. And González in midfield is not Rodri. And I don't know.

0

319.939 - 336.555

I think if you look at the goals, the goals that they've considered Man City have been poor goals. Like, you know, they gave Everton... Could have been worse, Donner. We made a couple of big saves. Yeah, you know, switch off from the throw in there. Gehi's short back pass and then all of a sudden the set player they don't deal with at front post.

336.535 - 356.498

And it does, annoyingly for Everton, drop them back to 10th and below Chelsea. So they are four points off Bournemouth in six. Arsenal have a five-point lead at the top of the table. Big win for them at the weekend. 3-0 at home to Fulham. Shane, given what stood out most for you about that performance?

357.399 - 365.648 Shay Given

I just felt like they played with the freedom. I think in the last, I don't know, many weeks, six or seven weeks, it felt like there's a real nervousness and a real sort of...

366.218 - 395.5 Shay Given

the pressure of getting over the line and it felt like the pressure was getting to them and it felt like they weren't playing themselves and games were really tight and they were playing with a fear nearly and fear of failure or whatever it might be and I just felt that the weekend that for whatever reason whatever the message from Arteta was before the game they sort of played that first half especially with just with freedom obviously Saka being back was a big plus I think and back to where we think he's been maybe he's took a dip and that's coincided with the team taking a dip but

395.902 - 413.192 Shay Given

Jocker is as well could have had a hat-trick at the weekend you know he had a big chance 1v1 in the second half to get his hat-trick but he's starting to score important goals. I don't know, just again, maybe we're talking about the psychology of having that, to get the six points clear, just to put a marker down.
