Erling Haaland’s double helped Manchester City defeat Tottenham 2-0 and move two points clear of Arsenal going into the final day of play. This victory represents a significant step towards the Premier League title.
Time and time again, Erling Haaland has proved that he deserves the team’s striker position, as he has been delivering almost in every match he currently leads with 25 goals, leaving Chelsea’s player Cole Palmer behind with 5.
Haaland scored the first goal at the 51 minute assisted by Kevin Debruyne’s cross and sealed the victory later on the 91st minute with a penalty sending Vicario the wrong way.
Even though Tottenham had a golden chance, they failed to equalize, as Man City’s second goalkeeper, Mortega, came equal to it, and that has cost them their qualification for the Champions League next season, having gone down to number 5 with 63 points, confirming Aston Villa’s place in the Champions League.
Man City’s victory makes it their eighth straight Premier League title. If they defeat West Ham at the Etihad Stadium this Sunday, Pep Guardiola’s team will have won the title for an unprecedented fourth time. Arsenal will need to defeat Everton at home while hoping for an unlikely error by City.
Manchester City are now leading the table with 88 points, with one match remaining for them. Arsenal, who were consistent title contenders, are in second place with 86 points, hoping to win their match over the weekend against Everton and side with West Ham if at all they are to stand any chance of winning the title.
The final day of the Premier League season takes place on Sunday, with all games kicking off at 4 p.m., and the title race is going to be tight than ever!
