Manchester City's late rally but points slip at Everton has everyone talking.

On BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club, former Liverpool midfielder Charlie Adam described it as a "big dent" in City's title push.

Ex-City goalkeeper Shay Given said however: "Let's not forget, this is two points dropped, but it could be a huge point. I don't think anybody thought they were going to drop two points tonight. Now it is wide open. It has to be Arsenal's title now."

Rory Smith, Football Correspondent for The Observer, added: "That late goal from Jeremy Doku changes it a little bit. It means Arsenal can't afford to lose a game. That was the break Arsenal have been waiting for. It proves that Manchester City's players are susceptible to nerves as well. We have been treating it as though the only team that can buckle in the title race is Arsenal.

"Arsenal laid down the gauntlet on Saturday, they got the win and got the goal difference and said to City: 'Go on, try and catch us.' And City couldn't ultimately."

On Sky Sports, former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry said: *"*I wouldn't be thinking 'we can afford to drop points now' if I was Arsenal, but it is back in their hands, that is a fact.
