City out to 6-1 for title after Black Cats draw

WHAT looked likely to be a routine night of Premier League action turned into a hugely significant couple of hours in the race for the title and the top four as Manchester City and Everton both suffered terrible results.

City were held 2-2 at home to Sunderland and are out to 6-1 to win the league, while Liverpool are 8-15 and Chelsea 3-1.

Sunderland went off 20-1 and came within minutes of pulling off a huge upset, but a terrible mistake by Black Cats goalkeeper Vito Mannone allowed Samir Nasri to equalise in the 88th minute.

Everton’s challenge to Arsenal for the fourth Champions League place is in big trouble after they lost 3-2 to Crystal Palace at Goodison Park. Bet365 offer 1-5 about the Gunners finishing inside the top four and 10-3 Everton.

Real Madrid lifted the Copa del Rey after beating Barcelona 2-1 in a typically hard-fought contest.

Angel Di Maria put Real into the lead before Marc Bartra equalised from a set-piece for the Catalans, but Gareth Bale popped up with a stunning solo effort in the 85th minute to win the trophy for Real.

Barca are 5-1 to win La Liga with Real 7-5 and Atletico Madrid 5-4 favourites.
