Man City held 1-1 by West Ham as title race slips

Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by West Ham at the London Stadium as the Premier League trophy appeared to slip through the fingers of Pep Guardiola's side. Bernardo Silva scored for City but they were almost immediately pegged back by Konstantinos Mavropanos, with Arsenal taking full control of the title race.

Bernardo Silva gave City the lead on the half-hour mark, chipping the goalkeeper, although there is some question as to whether he meant it. As soon as they had taken the lead they lost it, with Mavropanos heading home from a corner and Gianluigi Donnarumma stranded.

City kept the ball for the most part but struggled to make something happen, as West Ham appeared comfortable keeping them at arm's length. In the 83rd minute Mads Hermansen tipped a devilish free-kick delivery from substitute Tijjani Reijnders onto the crossbar, and in injury time Marc Guehi skied an effort from close-range.
