Citizens are one step away from the championship title
Manchester city won an away victory over Tottenham in the rescheduled match of the 34th round English Premier League – 2:0.
The first half was an even fight and yielded no goals. Immediately after the break, the guests managed to score – Kevin de Bruyne rolled Erling Haaland into an empty net.
Spurs tried to come back – in particular, Brennan Johnson and Dejan Kulusevski (twice) missed good chances. The game was also remembered for the injury of Ederson, who had to be pumped out for a long time after a collision with Christian Romero.
In the 86th minute, Manuel Akanji gave Heung-Min Son a one-on-one opportunity, but Stefan Ortega won the duel with what may have been a championship save. Four minutes later, Jeremy Docu earned a penalty (Pedro Porro violated the rules), and Haaland set the final score.
The importance of this victory is difficult to overestimate: the townspeople returned to first place one round before the finish. Now, to secure the championship title, Guardiola’s team just needs to beat West Ham at home in the last round.
Tottenham did not take the opportunity to please their neighbors Arsenal, who are close to losing the title race. At the same time, Spurs lost to Aston Villa the battle for fourth place, that is, for a place in the Champions League.
