Premier League: Man City lead TITLE-RACE with 2-2 draw against West Ham United
Scorers: Bowen 24′, 45′; Grealish 49′, Coufal OG 69′
City dominated the opening stages but they fell behind after 24 minutes, when Jarrod Bowen raced onto a Pablo Fornals hooked pass and rounded Ederson before finishing from a tight angle.
And the Hammers went 2-0 up on the stroke of half-time with a similar goal once again finished by Bowen after he had been played in over the top, this time by Michail Antonio.

City pulled one back early in the second half, when a corner was cleared as far as Jack Grealish on the edge of the box, and he fired home on the half volley for 2-1.
And they made it 2-2 with just over 20 minutes remaining, when a free-kick into the box was headed past his own goalkeeper by Hammers defender Vladimír Coufal.
City then had the chance to make it 3-2 in the 85th-minute when Craig Dawson tripped Gabriel Jesus in the box, and the referee pointed to the spot. Riyad Mahrez stepped up but Łukasz Fabiański saved to keep it at 2-2.
What’s Next?
The points shared means West Ham move to within two points of Manchester United in sixth place, and should West Ham win their last game, they will take the final Europa League spot should the Red Devils fail to, owing to the Hammers’ superior goal difference.
City, meanwhile, move four clear of Liverpool with one game to play. The Reds still have to play twice, but it’s firmly in City’s hands now as the season races to a pulsating end.
