With five league games remaining before their trip to Merseyside, this contest was deemed as one of the trickiest matches Manchester City needed to negotiate. A madcap second-half performance riddled with anxiety and errors leaves Arsenal as the big winners of the day, knowing three wins will guarantee them a first title in more than two decades. City did take the lead through Doku's first stunning strike but could not cope with the intensity of Everton's players and the sheer volume of noise from the home supporters.
