Pep Guardiola conceded Manchester City's title hopes are no longer in their grasp. The admission came after City's 3-3 stalemate against Everton on Monday evening.

While he acknowledged a draw beats losing, Guardiola recognizes Arsenal will claim the crown if they win out. "It's better than a loss," he told reporters after the match.

According to him, City controlled their own destiny before. Now that's changed completely, he noted.

City must win their four remaining Premier League games. Brentford will present a similar test, Guardiola added.

"We played to win," he said of the Everton result. "We tried and we have done it."

Arsenal's fate depends on their own performances now. City must simply focus on winning everything ahead.
