Manchester City edged closer to an unprecedented fourth consecutive Premier League title after a commanding 2-0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday. Norwegian striker Erling Haaland was the star of the night, netting two crucial goals that solidified City’s dominance this season.
Haaland opened the scoring early in the second half, showcasing his lethal finishing ability. The young star didn’t stop there, converting a penalty in stoppage time to reach his impressive tally of 27 league goals for the season.
City’s goalkeeper, Stefan Ortega, also played a pivotal role by denying Tottenham’s Son Heung-min, halting the home team’s momentum and securing the clean sheet.
With 88 points, Manchester City now stands just two points ahead of Arsenal, who have 86. Guardiola’s side is set to become the first team to claim four English titles in a row if they secure a win against West Ham United at home on Sunday. Arsenal, on the other hand, must triumph over Everton and hope for favorable results elsewhere to keep their title hopes alive.
“We have to win one more game to win the title,” Pep Guardiola stated. “Ortega saved us, otherwise Arsenal would be champions.”
