It also left City needing to beat West Ham United at the London Stadium to retain a realistic hope of catching Arteta's side. City took the lead through Bernardo Silva but West Ham pegged them back immediately through Konstantinos Mavropanos and, try as they might, City could not find a winner. City kept West Ham, who have only lost two of their last nine Premier League games, pressed deep into their own half in the opening stages. But West Ham keeper Mads Hermansen had also strayed marginally off his line. West Ham came tantalisingly close to a second goal when Tomas Soucek swung a cross to the near post and Taty Castellanos flung himself at it.
