In the past night, the Premier League and Serie A played two key battles, and Manchester City and Roma won all the top two, of which Manchester City won away from home and continued to catch up with Arsenal at the top of the table, while Roma beat Udinese to get three valuable points.
Brighton & Hove Albion 0-4 Manchester City
The day before, Liverpool suffered an upset loss to Everton away from home, which made many fans sweat for Manchester City. If Manchester City don't win, the Premier League title race will change dramatically in just a few days. Fortunately, Manchester City won it in the end, because there are so many people who can score goals.
In the 17th minute of the first half, Manchester City broke the deadlock when Kevin De Bruyne received a cross from his team-mate and finally headed it home. As a midfielder, De Bruyne scored frequently after returning from injury, and his sudden outburst surprised even Guardiola, who is still a midfield master, simply a world-class striker.
A few minutes later, City extended their advantage, and this time it was Foden's turn to step up. The City genius took a free-kick only to bounce off the wall and deflice into the goal. With a two-goal lead away, Manchester City almost killed the suspense of the game. Foden and Alvarez then scored two more goals to make it 4-0.
In Haaland's absence, Manchester City still beat Brighton and Hove Albion, and their advantage was too great. So far, Manchester City has overtaken Liverpool and moved up to second place, only one point away from Arsenal at the top of the table, but they have one game less, which means that Manchester City is now the biggest favorite to win the Premier League. As long as they win their next five games, Manchester City will definitely defend their title and achieve an unprecedented fourth consecutive Premier League title.
Roma away from home
Because of Ndicka's accident, the game was suspended after more than 70 minutes (the previous score was 1-1), and now the two teams have finally finished the game. On the road, Roma seized their chance, and in stoppage time, Dybala's cross from a corner assisted Cristante's header to give Roma a 2-1 three points.
After this game, Roma remain in fifth place, four points ahead of Atalanta behind them, and firmly hold on to the Champions League qualification line. Next season, there will be 5 teams in Serie A participating in the Champions League, and Roma only need to keep this position to achieve their goal of returning to the Champions League!
