With a 2-0 victory over Tottenham and two points ahead of Arsenal going into the final day, Manchester City made a significant move towards winning the Premier League. Erling Haaland’s double sealed the victory.
At the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, there was a low key atmosphere as both teams knew that a win would benefit their fierce rivals. Spurs needed to win to maintain their hopes of finishing in the top four, but Haaland’s header from Kevin De Bruyne’s cross after halftime gave City the lead.
After replacing Ederson, who reacted angrily when forced to leave the game after taking a punch to the head, City’s substitute keeper Stefan Ortega made crucial saves from Dejan Kulusevski and Heung-Min Son. However, Haaland clinched the victory from the penalty spot after Pedro Porro had fouled substitute Jeremy Doku.
Pep Guardiola’s team will be champions for an unprecedented fourth consecutive year if they defeat West Ham at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. Arsenal will need to win their match at home against Everton and hope for an unlikely error by City. This is City’s eighth straight Premier League victory.
Spurs, on the other hand, are now officially eliminated from the Champions League race after losing, dropping them five points behind Aston Villa, who have already secured their spot.
Sunday is the last day of the Premier League season. All games begin at 11 p.m., and the race for the title is fiercely contested.
Manchester City hopes to win the title for a record-breaking fourth time when they play West Ham at the Etihad. Everton is a team that Arsenal welcomes to the Emirates with hopes of winning the Premier League for the first time since 2004.
Tottenham will go to Sheffield United, who have already been relegated, for their last season match.
