This is the first time City have come back from two goals down in a top-flight game since 2012.

Bowen doubled the lead just before the break, latching on to Michail Antonio’s pass to fire into the bottom corner.
Jack Grealish pulled one back for City four minutes after the break with a right-footed volley that was deflected in.
They were level when Mahrez’s cross was headed into his own net by Vladimir Coufal on 69 minutes.
Manchester City had the chance to go six points clear of Liverpool from the penalty spot after Gabriel Jesus had been brought down by Craig Dawson, but Mahrez’s spot-kick was saved by Lukasz Fabianski.
Manchester City are on 90 points, four above Liverpool, who play Southampton on Tuesday, before each side play their final match of the season on 22 May.
West Ham are seventh on 56 points and are guaranteed European football next season.
Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola said,”It was a really good game. I think we played more than decent in the first half. Chances were so difficult to attack them.
Very pleased to come back against West Ham like we did in this stadium. The transition with Antonio is so difficult to control and in two uncertain balls, it looks like nothing is happening, they put a ball in behind, Bowen gets it really well and finished.
We scored an early goal and had a really good second half. A point that we gained.”
