London England – Manchester City was closer to their dream of a fourth consecutive Premier League title with a tough 2-0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday. This victory will put them once again in the lead over the rivals Arsenal heading into the last match day of the season.
Erling Haaland, the unstoppable City force, was the hero once again, scoring a double (two goals). His first was in the second half with the help of Kevin De Bruyne, his usual partner in crime. The second goal was a last-minute penalty that gave the victory, awarded after Jérémy Doku was sent off in the box.
The victory was not easy for the City. Tottenham tried very hard especially in the last few minutes. A superb stop from their goalkeeper, Guglielmo Vicario, blocked Heung-min Son’s potential equalizer just minutes before Haaland’s penalty.
