Manchester City suffered another setback in the Premier League title race after being held to a draw by West Ham United.

‎The result means City failed to close the gap on leaders Arsenal FC, who remain nine points clear at the top of the table.

‎Despite having a game in hand, Pep Guardiola’s side were unable to secure the victory they needed, leaving the title race increasingly in Arsenal’s control as the season enters its decisive stages.

‎City had hoped to reduce the deficit following Arsenal’s recent win, but the draw with West Ham leaves them with more ground to make up in the coming weeks.

While the former champions still have an extra match to play, the pressure is now firmly on City to produce a strong run of results if they are to challenge Arsenal for the Premier League crown.

For Arsenal, the latest slip by their closest rivals further strengthens their position at the summit as they chase what would be a memorable league triumph.
