Worked this out. @greenhoe hope this helps.

// Create the frontend form
function my_pre_save_post( $post_id ) {
	if ( $post_id != 'new' ) {
		return $post_id;
    }
    $post = array(
        'post_status' => 'draft',
        'post_title' => $_POST['fields']['field_5344021b6851b'],
        'post_type' => 'events'
    );  
    $post_id = wp_insert_post($post); 
    $_POST['return'] = add_query_arg( array('post_id' => $post_id), $_POST['return'] );    
    return $post_id;
}
add_filter('acf/pre_save_post' , 'my_pre_save_post' );

Now ACF allows a $_POST variable to be used for the title but does not really state how to use it. We create a title field in ACF and then used the field name that was automatically generated from ACF. So, as above:

'post_title' => $_POST['fields']['field_5344021b6851b'],

field_5344021b6851b is the name of my title field I created.

Hope this helps. Worked for me. Let me know if you have any problems.
