Jean-Philippe Mateta halved the deficit for Roy Hodgson’s side with a quarter of an hour left on the clock before Phil Foden conceded a penalty in the dying embers of the clash, granting the visitors the chance to equalise. Michael Olise stepped up to the plate and beat Ederson from 12-yards.
Liverpool and Arsenal now have the chance to extend their advantage over City in the Premier League title race. While the campaign is far from over, Guardiola’s side could rue falling short of the silverware-winning standards come the end of the season.
“You have to exercise caution in the 18-yard box, and we didn’t.” We don’t deserve to win. It’s not unfortunate; it’s well-deserved. We give up two points.
“You are giving away this penalty, which you deserve. You can see how similar our opportunities created and wasted are to the entire season, with the exception of the Chelsea encounter. Still, we are not able to close the deals. That’s the sensation.

Man City can only hold themselves accountable for the four draws in the previous five Premier League rounds, trailing by two points per game after missing opportunities to take the lead.
If Man Green allowed Alexander-Arnold to equalize in the 80th minute of the encounter against Liverpool, Kulusevski’s punishment in the 90th minute of the match against Tottenham resulted in a 3-3 draw.

Similar to how Pep’s squad drew and lost last night, “old man” Cole Palmer forced guy City to divide the points in the 90+5 minute from the 11-meter mark in the crucial match against Chelsea.
Man City has only won once in the last six games (2-1 against Luton Town in the previous round), with the other four being draws and one loss. Even though his club is only three points behind leading Liverpool and has one more game remaining, this setback seriously jeopardizes Pep Guardiola and his team’s hopes of winning the Premier League for a record four times.
