Manchester City reached out for a tenth Premier League title on Tuesday evening. The Cityzens won 0-2 at Tottenham thanks to Kevin De Bruyne, who was again invaluable to Guardiola with an assist for Haaland. City again takes the lead over Arsenal and can take the title on Sunday with a victory on the final day of the competition against West Ham.
Tottenham-Manchester City marked a new and perhaps decisive episode in the title battle in the Premier League. Beforehand, Arsenal was two points ahead of City, but De Bruyne and Doku still had a catch-up game behind them. If they win, the Cityzens could almost smell their fourth consecutive title, but if they make a mistake, the Gunners would be in pole position to be crowned English national champions for the first time in twenty years.
Arsenal needed a favor from Tottenham, their arch-rival from North London. Not every Spurs fan supported his own team, but that had no influence on the team’s performance.
Tottenham got off to a good start and after five minutes we scored the first chance for Spurs. Hojbjerg with the long cross towards Johnson, who delivered to Bentancur. The Uruguayan international took a shot from half-moon, but found Ederson in his way. City tried to make good use of Spurs’ high offside line. Captain Walker slipped through the offside trap and eventually found De Bruyne, whose shot caprioled just wide via two Tottenham legs.
After 45 minutes of play it remained 0-0 in the Tottenham Stadium. A few kilometers further in the Emirates Stadium they rubbed their hands, but that would not last long. De Bruyne first encountered an impressive Vicario, but barely a minute later the prize was won. KDB cleverly ran deep and then passed the ball to Haaland, who had to push in calmly.

De Bruyne screams in pain
About ten minutes later, watching Flanders held his breath. De Bruyne wanted to quickly counter after a Tottenham attack, but was kicked on the ankle by Papé Matar Sarr. The Red Devil screamed in pain and remained down, but seemed to escape unscathed and was replaced together with Ederson, who had taken a karate kick from Romero.

City subsequently groaned under the pressure of Spurs and an absolute blunder from Akanji sent Heung-Min Son rushing at Ortega. The German substitute goalkeeper made a wide spread and kept the South Korean from scoring the equalizer with a clever save. City got away well and eventually rewarded themselves with the double lead in minute 91. Jérémy Doku was allowed to enter into a favorite one-on-one duel with Pedro Porro and the Spaniard had no choice but to stop the Red Devil incorrectly. Penalty said referee Kavanagh. Haaland stood behind the ball and then hit the ball hard against the ropes. 0-2, books allowed!
