Twitter explodes as Manchester City play out dramatic 2-2 draw with West Ham

Manchester City staged a dramatic 2-2 comeback against West Ham United on Sunday, May 15 after being down by two in the first half. However, Hammers custodian Lukasz Fabianski stopped the Cityzens from pulling off a monumental victory with a penalty save.Pep Guardiola's side went into the game knowing victory would put them one win away from the Premier League title.But Jarrod Bowen shocked the world with a delightful first-half double. The first was a brilliant effort from a tight-angle following Pablo Fornals' astute build-up play. He then added another fine strike in the 45th minute with Guardiola looking on in despair.Guardiola must have got into his players at half-time as they came out a different side in the second half.Jack Grealish, whose selection many had questioned, got on the scoresheet with a fine effort.Vladimir Coufal headed in an own-goal in the 69th minute following a free-kick to level things.Then in the 83rd minute, Coufal was adjudged to have fouled Gabriel Jesus with VAR overturning Anthony Taylor's decision not to award a spot-kick. Riyad Mahrez stepped up and saw his penalty saved by Fabianski, which kept the title race well and truly alive.Here are reactions from Twitter on what was one of the most chaotic matches of the Premier League season:Squawka@SquawkaJarrod Bowen has now been directly involved in the same amount of Premier League goals as Kevin De Bruyne this season (22). 2128279Jarrod Bowen has now been directly involved in the same amount of Premier League goals as Kevin De Bruyne this season (22). 😀 https://t.co/nn1wYZF4dNChiddy 🇳🇬@chiddyafcBowen is a demon bro there was no moment I thought he'd miss get him on the fackin plane88533Bowen is a demon bro there was no moment I thought he'd miss😭😭 get him on the fackin planeOrs💉@deoorsPrivate University no dey strike but see Bowen.34361178Private University no dey strike but see Bowen.Ian Wright@IanWright0If Bowen doesn't get an England call up after the season he's had 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿1785115If Bowen doesn't get an England call up after the season he's had 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😤😡 https://t.co/T3WrUsqJEGAhmed@ahmedIfcJarrod Bowen.19529Jarrod Bowen. https://t.co/rEt8TBSJUFRaj Chohan@rajsinghchohanThose Bowen goals are very Salah-esque.
