Jeremy Doku says City will fight until the end in the race for the Premier League crown.
Our comeback 3-3 draw at Everton on Monday Night Football put us five points behind rivals Arsenal with a game in hand but it could yet prove to be a vital result as we battle the Gunners for honours.
Two-goal hero Doku was bullish on full-time saying the Blues would keep pushing with four league games remaining plus the FA Cup final against Chelsea.
“We did not give up, and we are not going to give up,” he said.
“There are still some games, we are going to fight until the end and at the end we will count the points.
“[We are] disappointed but it is not over, we are not going to give up.
“We are going to recover now, take the positives, take the negatives and work on it.
“There are a lot of games, we have a busy schedule, and we are going to look forward.
“We are still in two competitions, we have a final to play. One point is better than nothing, we came for three points and it did not work out.
“In the first half we started well, created a lot of chances, in a lot of positions.
“We scored then in the second half they pushed more, we made some mistakes and they scored a couple of goals. It was difficult to come back.
“It’s still not over, we are going to focus on the next game and try to do our best.”
With such a busy schedule on the horizon, five games in just 15 days, Doku stressed that recovery was of paramount importance now between matches.
“We are going to recover well,” he added.
“Mentally we have all been in this position, we are used to playing every three days.
“The most important thing is to recover mentally and physically.
“There are tough games to come but we are ready for it, we are looking forward.”
