Premier League: Manchester City fails in the title fight

Manchester City made the fight for the English championship exciting again. After five wins in a row on the penultimate day of play at West Ham United on Sunday, the defending champion of the Premier League did not get more than 2: 2 (0: 2) and initially increased its lead over Liverpool FC with team manager Jürgen Klopp to only four points and seven goals.

The Reds, who won the FA Cup on Saturday, could get a point with a win on Tuesday (8:45 p.m. / Sky) at Southampton FC. Liverpool take on Wolverhampton Wanderers for the season finale, while City host Aston Villa.

Jack Grealish (49′) and Vladimir Coufal with an own goal (69′) scored for the Citizens. Jarrod Bowen (24th/45th) had put the Hammers, who had failed in the semi-finals of the Europa League at Eintracht Frankfurt, in the lead with a brace. Riyad Mahrez (86th) missed a penalty kick for the guests.
