From the evening of April 28 to the early morning of April 29, Beijing time, the 35th round of the Premier League continued, and the three giants of Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City made their debut.
Tottenham Hotspur 2-3 Arsenal
Earlier in the game, Villa drew 2-2 at home to Chelsea, and with three games to go, fourth-placed Villa are seven points clear of Tottenham. This is really a lot of pressure on Tottenham, who are aiming for a Champions League place.
Tottenham have played just 32 games due to the postponement of the game against Manchester City, the fewest of any Premier League team, and have not played any competitive games in the last half month. Tottenham's last game was a 4-0 defeat away to Newcastle.
Arsenal have made it two wins in a row after a 5-0 thrashing of Chelsea, one point clear of Manchester City in the table, but the Gunners are not safe because they have played a game more than Manchester City and will then travel to Manchester United.
In terms of total value, Tottenham's entire team reached 780 million, and Arsenal was 1.12 billion. In this north London derby, the goal came in the 15th minute.
Bukayo Saka whipped in a corner and Hojbjerg nodded it into his own goal, but Arsenal still had zero shots on goal.
When the score is behind, Tottenham can only attack aggressively, and it is inevitable that there will be an empty situation at the back.
In the 27th minute, Arsenal made a quick counter-attack after a steal in front, Havertz's precise pass was on point, and Saka shook off the defense and scored with his trademark shot.
In the 38th minute, Arsenal won the team's second corner of the game, and Kai Havertz jumped high in the middle to head home from close range.
In the first half, Tottenham were already three goals behind. At the start of the second half, the Gunners had no intention of giving up, and the two teams fought against each other.
In the 64th minute, Raya played with fire in the backfield and rubbed the ball directly to Romero, Romero smiled and gave a big gift, and Raya sent an own assist.
In the 85th minute, Rice was fouled in the box, VAR intervened, and David Oliver awarded a penalty.
Son Heung-min took the penalty and smashed the ball into the top left corner, and Tottenham scored twice in a row when they were 3-0 down.
In the end, Tottenham lost 2-3 at home to Arsenal. After this game, Arsenal is 4 points ahead of Manchester City in the first round of this round. Tottenham Hotspur continues to be fifth, seven points behind Villa, who have two games in hand, and considering that Tottenham will face Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City in the future, Tottenham is basically hopeless in fighting for the fourth.
Nottingham Forest 0-2 Manchester City
Nottingham Forest lost 2-0 to Everton in the last round, and the team officially complained that three penalties were not awarded. Forest, who have won only one of their last nine games, are just one point ahead of 18th-placed Luton Town, and the relegation situation is still grim.
Manchester City have continued to play consistently despite the Gunners and Liverpool both dropping the chain, and after the big win over Brighton, the Blues are unbeaten in 30 games in all competitions (penalty shootouts are not counted), including 14 wins and four draws in 18 Premier League games.
For Manchester City, which is worth a total of 1.25 billion, as long as the last five games are all won, they will definitely win the championship. Of course, this is not a difficult task for Manchester City, who have won four in a row.
Forest didn't play passively after the opening kick-off, with neither team having any decent chances for the first 30 minutes.
In the 32nd minute, De Bruyne's corner kick was fast, and Gvardiol grabbed the front post and scored with a header.
With the scoreline trailing, Nottingham Forest launched an onslaught and both Wood and Murillo missed a great chance to equalise. At half-time, Manchester City temporarily led 1-0.
At the start of the second half, Wood put in an equally exaggerated performance, with a shot from close range in front of goal that was blocked by Gvardiol.
In the 70th minute, Haaland, who came on as a substitute in the second half, received an assist from De Bruyne and calmly scored the 21st goal of the league.
In the end, Manchester City won 2-0 away at Nottingham Forest, unbeaten in 31 games in all competitions, and only 15 wins and 4 draws in 19 league games. In the latest standings, Manchester City continue to trail Arsenal by one point, with a game less than Arsenal.
