On April 23, local time, Premier League leader Manchester City scored a big shot in this round of the league, winning 5-1 against Watford. Brazil international Jesus was in hot form, scoring four goals alone and bringing an assist to his teammates.
"Nothing will change." After the big win, facing the aggressive Liverpool, Manchester City manager Guardiola kept a low profile, "We have to win all the games to win the title. ”
At present, the Premier League is nearing the end, and the competition for the top title has become white-hot.
In the standings, Manchester City maintained a slimmed top spot. Liverpool are in hot pursuit, and Manchester City will fall short if they are slightly worse.
In this game, facing Watford, Jesus started with a success. In the 4th minute, Canselo's cross from the right was swept across the goal by Zinchenko and Jesus pushed into the net to open the scoring scene.
After that, De Bruyne passed twice, and the Brazilian international scored a precise shot and a kick above his head, scoring a total of 4 goals.
Meanwhile, in the 34th minute, Jesus assisted Rodri to help the latter score City's third goal.
After taking a big lead, Guardiola replaced De Bruyne, Rodri and Laporte to save strength for the upcoming Champions League semi-finals.
In the end, City won 5-1. While winning, the goal in this round helped Manchester City and Liverpool narrow the goal difference between Manchester City and Liverpool to 2 goals.
It is worth mentioning that after this game, Manchester City has won the 25th Premier League victory of the season. So far, Manchester City has recorded more than 25 wins in five consecutive seasons, equaling the record held by Manchester United.
According to statistics, the first team in the Premier League to maintain a 25+ victory in five consecutive seasons was Manchester United from 2005-06 to 2009-10.
"Reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League and fighting for the league title at the same time, I love the feeling of competition and the pressure of various titles." Guardiola said.
