In a Premier League match that ended in the early hours of this morning, Liverpool beat Brentford 3-0 at home to reach 45 points, and one less round behind the leaders Manchester City by 11 points. Even so, most of the outside world is already very optimistic about Manchester City to win the Premier League title this season, and Liverpool can only get runners-up at most, which is also related to Liverpool's lack of stability.
Before Liverpool played, Manchester City played Chelsea in advance, which was a direct match between the first and second places in the Premier League, and the difference between the two teams was 10 points, which was still the nature of the top battle. Both Chelsea and Manchester City have gradually become giant clubs since the 21st century, with Manchester City winning the league title twice and Chelsea only winning the league twice in the last century.
Last season, the two teams met in the Champions League final, and in the end, Manchester City lost 1-0 to Chelsea, missing the first Champions League title in the team's history. This season, the two teams have played one game at Chelsea's home stadium, Manchester City completed their revenge 1-0, and suppressed Chelsea in the whole game, and now come to Manchester City's home stadium, Chelsea is also suppressed, and In the first half, Glalish missed a one-handed opportunity, making it impossible for Manchester City to break the Chelsea goal.
It wasn't until the 69th minute of the second half that Canselo split the ball at the back, De Bruyne received the ball and was forced by Kante, de Bruyne easily got rid of it and shot directly from outside the box to help City break the deadlock 1-0.
It was the fifth time in De Bruyne's Premier League career that he had scored Chelsea's goal, while scoring 21 premier league shots from outside the box to tie Aguero and rank first in team history.
In the end, City relied on De Bruyne's only goal to beat Chelsea 1-0, which was also Manchester City's fourth double in the Premier League. In the whole game, Manchester City had 56% of the ball, and at one point in the first half, it was more than 65%, and the whole game was 11 feet, Chelsea only had 4 shots on goal, and on target, Manchester City was also far ahead of 6-1.
It was City's 12th consecutive Premier League win this season and the fourth time in franchise history that it was during Guardiola's tenure. According to statistics, in the history of England's top league, only one team has failed to win the title after 12 consecutive wins in a single season, which is Preston in the 1891-92 season. Manchester City have been crowned Premier League champions five times in their history and are now moving closer to a sixth title.
Manchester City has dominated the Premier League in recent years, and still cannot escape the title of the number one pseudo-strong team in the Champions League. In recent seasons, Manchester City has been regarded as the number one favorite in the Champions League, and in the end they have not won the title, and Guardiola has only lacked one of the most convincing Champions League champions since he took charge of Manchester City, and it is also very difficult to achieve this season, after all, the contingency of the cup is greater.
