"Manchester City lost further ground on Premier League leaders Arsenal on Saturday as they were held to a 1-1 draw at West Ham United, which left them nine points behind the leaders with a game in hand. After Arsenal left it late to beat Everton 2-0, Bernardo Silva put City ahead in the 31st minute with a fortunate chip over goalkeeper Mads Hermansen, before Konstantinos Mavropanos headed home Jarrod Bowen's corner four minutes later."
"City manager Pep Guardiola had claimed the title race could be over if his side dropped points again, and City poured forward with increasing desperation in search of a winner after the break. Erling Haaland, on a run of four goals in his previous 17 games, drew a fingertip save from Hermansen before he scuffed a shot wide from Antoine Semenyo's cutback."
"Manchester City remained second, with 61 points from 30 games, having suffered another blow to their title hopes after a sobering first-leg 3-0 defeat at Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday. West Ham moved out of the relegation zone for the first time since December and up to 17th with 29 points, one ahead of Nottingham Forest, who have a game in hand."
