PAP / EPA / NEIL HALL / Pictured: Manchester City defeated Tottenham away from home and came very close to the English Championship
Manchester City is one step away from another English championship. On Tuesday evening, Pep Guardiola’s team beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0, thanks to goals from Erling Haaland. Fans of both teams were happy with this result.
Manchester City fans felt happy because their players carried the burden and won the most important match in London. And Tottenham fans were happy for another reason – the victory of the “citizens” meant that the chance of winning the championship for Arsenal, the eternal rival of the “roosters”, diminished.
The winning team secured a reliable brace, as Kevin De Bruyne passed the ball, and Erling Haaland pushed the ball into the empty goal from close range, his 26th goal in the Premier League this season. It is almost certain that the Norwegian will be crowned top scorer again, especially since he added the second goal from a penalty kick in stoppage time.
The visitors increased their pace in the second half. Overall, Pep Guardiola’s team was the better team and it is difficult to doubt this win. Tottenham created few chances and had no arguments to win anything.
One round before the end of the season, Manchester City is two points ahead of Arsenal.

Fortunately, the football match lasts 90 minutes. The first half? To forget. Bad, not much happened (both teams had one shot on target). There was really nothing to watch. Only push and squeeze lovers can like it. Plus Arsenal fans of course. For them, a goalless draw in the first half was a dream come true.
However, shortly after changing sides, Manchester City scored and the situation on the pitch calmed down a bit. Of course, it was not a special match for this team, but in the end the visitors did their job and deservedly won all the points.
Tottenham needed some time to recover. Dejan Kulusevski brought a lot of life, and had two good chances in the second half, but on both occasions he was denied by Stefan Ortega, replacing Ederson, who was in trouble after clashing with Cristian Romero. But the best chance went to Heung-Min Son, who faced Ortega after a mistake by Manuel Akanji. The Korean almost equalized, but he shot directly at the goalkeeper. Which took revenge immediately, and Jeremy Doku got a penalty kick, and Haaland turned out to be the surest enforcer for the eleven, and the match ended.
