LONDON
\nManchester City came from 2-0 down to salvage a vital point in a 2-2 draw at West Ham to keep the Premier League title in their hands as Tottenham Hotspur moved into the top four on Sunday.
\nCity travelled to the London Stadium knowing they needed a maximum of four points from their final two games of the season to guarantee a fourth title in five years.
\nHowever, the Hammers took full advantage of City\u2019s injury crisis at the back as the pace and poise of Jarrod Bowen put Liverpool right back in the title race.
\nPep Guardiola was without Ruben Dias, John Stones and Kyle Walker and a makeshift defence was easily cut open on the counter-attack.
\nBowen burst onto Pablo Fornals\u2019 ball over the top to round Ederson and put City behind in a league game for the first time since February.
\nCity did not learn their lesson as Bowen broke the offside trap once more in the final seconds of the first half to fire low past Ederson.
\nThe champions were rattled but responded to keep the destiny of the title in their own hands.
\nJack Grealish has failed to live up to his price tag, but came up with his biggest City goal four minutes into the second period to get the comeback started.
\nCity had fortune on their side to get level when Vladimir Coufal turned Riyad Mahrez\u2019s free-kick into his own net.
\nBut Guardiola\u2019s men missed the chance to complete the comeback and move to the brink of the title when Mahrez\u2019s penalty was saved by Lukasz Fabianski four minutes from time.
\nCity move four points clear of Liverpool at the top of the table, but the quadruple-chasing Reds have a game in hand away to Southampton on Tuesday.
\n\u201cNow there is no debate about goal difference, just win our game and we will be champions,\u201d said Guardiola.
\n\u201cOur stadium will be sold out and we will give all our lives to do it. It\u2019s an incredible chance to win one game to be champions.\u201d
\nAt the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, Harry Kane\u2019s penalty moved Spurs into fourth with a nervy 1-0 win over Burnley.
\nAntonio Conte\u2019s men move two points ahead of north London rivals Arsenal, who travel to Newcastle on Monday, in the battle for a place in next season\u2019s Champions League.
\nTottenham still need a slip up from the Gunners to return to the Champions League next season, but upped the pressure on Mikel Arteta\u2019s men.
\n\u201cThe situation is still in their hands because they have two games to play, but you know very well in England, it\u2019s not simple to win,\u201d said Conte.
\nDefeat sees Burnley drop into the relegation zone after Leeds snatched a late 1-1 draw at home to Brighton.
\nA brave Burnley performance was undone by a stroke of misfortune deep into first half stoppage time.
\nDavinson Sanchez\u2019s flick brushed off the outstretched arm of Ashley Barnes.
\nThere was barely an appeal inside the Tottenham stadium in real time, but the incident was picked up by VAR and given after a review.
\nKane was deadly as usual from the spot as the England captain converted his 23rd consecutive successful penalty.
\nBurnley now need something from their final two games to survive as Pascal Struijk\u2019s late leveller at Elland Road gave Leeds hope.
\nDanny Welbeck put in-form Brighton in front, but he then missed a glorious chance to double Brighton\u2019s lead and Struijk\u2019s stoppage time header earned a point.
\n\u201cNothing comes easy for us. We seem to dig holes and then have to find a way to dig out,\u201d said Leeds boss Jesse Marsch.
\nEverton are also still in a three-way battle to beat the drop after having two men sent off in a 3-2 home defeat to Brentford.
\nDominic Calvert-Lewin put the Toffees in front before Jarrad Branthwaite was dismissed for pulling down Ivan Toney on 18 minutes.
\nSeamus Coleman\u2019s own goal levelled for the Bees, but Everton led again at half-time thanks to Richarlison\u2019s penalty.
\nTwo goals in two minutes from Yoane Wissa and Rico Henry turned the game around and Everton\u2019s misery was compounded by a late red card for Salomon Rondon.
\nJamie Vardy and Harvey Barnes each scored twice as Leicester City thrashed already-relegated Watford 5-1, while Aston Villa and Crystal Palace played out a 1-1 draw.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
