Manchester City survived a huge scare to draw at West Ham on Sunday afternoon and kept their Premier League title destiny in their own hands.

A searing atmosphere saw Jarrod Bowen score two expertly taken goals in the first half before Jack Grealish pulled one back and Vladimir Coufal headed in an own goal.

With five minutes remaining, City were awarded a penalty after a VAR check as Jesus was brought down by Dawson inside the area. Mahrez stepped up but the penalty was saved by Fabianski as West Ham managed to hold on for the point.

Manchester city are four points clear of Liverpool who have two games to go and that means if Liverpool lose at Southampton on Tuesday then Manchester City will be crowned Premier League champions for the fourth time in five seasons.

Even if Liverpool draw then City will be champions as they have a seven-goal advantage on goal difference. West Ham’s point means they are on 56 points and are still in the battle for sixth.
