Man City was a guest at Tottenham in round 34 of the Premier League. Coach Pep Guardiola’s team needs to win to maintain hope of defending the Premier League crown.
However, in the first 45 minutes, Man City encountered a deadlock on Tottenham’s field. It wasn’t until the 51st minute that Man City broke the deadlock thanks to Erling Haaland’s goal. De Bruyne crossed for Haaland to tap the ball into the home team’s net.
Haaland opened the score in the match
After this goal, Man City played more confidently. However, in the 69th minute, they reluctantly had to replace goalkeeper Ederson after the goalkeeper collided strongly with Tottenham midfielder Romero.
The home team had a good chance to score in the 86th minute when Man City midfielder Akanji made a mistake and lost the ball. Son Heung Min escaped, but this player could not beat the substitute goalkeeper, Ortega. This is probably the defining moment of the season for Man City because if Tottenham equalizes, their hopes of defending the throne will be threatened.
