On May 15, Beijing time, the 34th round of the English Premier League ushered in a key matchup, and the defending champion Manchester City played Tottenham Hotspur away. Substitute Doku made a point, Haaland scored twice, Manchester City won 8 consecutive wins, and the last round victory over the Hammers = 4th consecutive Premier League title, and Tottenham officially missed out on next season's Champions League place.
Tottenham, who started the game at home, instigated a long pass and a quick attack, and Bentancur's heavy shot from the top of the arc was saved by Ederson, and the team's transition was full of threats. Foden seized on Hojbjerg's faulty volley from close range and was deflected by Vicario with one hand, and the Blues were not in good form and slightly tight, and the opponent's defense was fully pressed, and it was really puzzling that they did not choose to play behind them frequently.
Haaland's shot in the penalty area near midfielder was blocked, and Silva's follow-up shot was blocked by Dragusin, and the two sides temporarily exchanged blanks. Looking at the half-time, Tottenham were the better team, and the back-to-back counter-attacks were extremely threatening, Manchester City seemed to be slow to get into the groove, and the desire to attack was not strong, and it was hard to imagine that they were on the side of contention.
In the second half, De Bruyne turned and volleyed and was saved by the goalkeeper, until the 51st minute B side instigated a straight stopper, De Bruyne stepped forward to receive the ball and swept in front of the goal, Vicario fell to the ground to save and failed to touch the ball, and the follow-up Haaland scored an empty goal, and the blue moon broke the deadlock to take a 1-0 lead.
Tottenham, who fell behind, immediately made lineup changes, Kulusevski replaced Bentancur to strengthen the attack, during this time they moved too much, Sarr stepped on Tintin during the scramble, Romero grabbed the point from close range and kicked Ederson, the referee showed yellow card warnings, and Guardiola was cautious to let the two go to rest.
Ortega, who came off the bench, repeatedly saved, successfully defused Son Xingmin's single shot, the sidelines of the Guardiola looked particularly nervous, Doku was put down in the penalty area in stoppage time, the referee decisively awarded the point, Haaland scored a brace with a steady shot, this goal basically sealed the win, Manchester City defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 at the end of the game to win eight consecutive league wins, 88 points in 37 rounds, 2 points ahead of the second Arsenal, and the remaining round against West Ham United can achieve four consecutive Premier League titles.
