The reigning champions of England won easily in London in the 34th round and will soon lift the trophy again.
Manchester City has every chance to defend its English football title. Pep Guardiola’s men have regained their lead in the Premier League for the 2023/24 season.
This happened after the “citizens” beat Tottenham on the road. The hosts put up a decent fight against the famous opponent in the first half only, but after the break Man City changed their advantage in goals.
In the 51st minute, Erling Haaland scored the ball in the goal after a cross by Kevin De Bruyne. And in stoppage time, the Norwegian scored for the second time, calmly converting the penalty.
So, one round before the end of the championship, Man City is two points ahead of Arsenal. In the last round of the Premier League, the Citizens will play West Ham, and the Gunners will play Everton.
