In the early morning of May 15, Beijing time, the 34th round of the English Premier League staged a key battle, and the defending champion Manchester City defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 away to win 8 consecutive Premier League victories. In the second half of the game, Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson went off the field due to injury, and substitute goalkeeper Ortega Moreno was called on to the danger, contributing three saves in 21 minutes to keep the goal from conceding, becoming one of the biggest contributors to Manchester City's first victory at New White Hart Lane.

This is City's penultimate Premier League game of the season, and since the new White Hart Lane opened in April 2019, City have yet to win at Premier League level on this field, losing all four games and failing to score a goal. In this game, Manchester City, who are the main players, still encountered a lot of tests, and Tottenham Hotspur caused them a lot of trouble with home advantage. Fortunately, Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson showed great courage, Bentancur's close-range push, Johnson's cross and Son Heung-min's outflanking shot were all cleared by him.

Manchester City broke the deadlock in the 51st minute, B instigated the attack, De Bruyne received the ball and swept in front of the goal, Haaland easily pushed the empty goal, Manchester City broke the deadlock 1-0. However, in the 65th minute, Romero scrambled to hit Ederson, who continued to play after receiving treatment, but Pep Guardiola replaced him in the 69th minute for safety, a move that made the Brazilian goalkeeper unhappy.

However, in the following time, Moreno showed that he was no less than Ederson, and in the 71st minute, Kulusevski grabbed the ball and shot from a tight angle, and Moreno reacted very quickly to hold the ball. In the 86th minute, Akanji made a mistake with the ball at the back, and Son Heung-min went to the meeting alone, but fortunately, Moreno was in an excellent position to block the inevitable shot with his foot. It is worth mentioning that at the moment when Son Heung-min got up to shoot, Guardiola on the sidelines also collapsed to the ground in fright, but Moreno's extreme save saved Guardiola and his team.

Three minutes later, substitute Doku made a penalty in the penalty area, and Haaland took the penalty to seal the win 2-0. This also makes Moreno's magic save particularly precious, if Son Xingmin's shot scores, Manchester City is estimated to only get 1 point, and the dream of four consecutive Premier League titles is likely to be shattered.

In this game, Moreno played 21 minutes, contributed 3 saves, and became one of the biggest contributors to Manchester City's clean sheet against Tottenham Hotspur to get three points. His excellent goal-line skills and his calm-as-the-water mentality are impressive. Sitting on two world-class goalkeepers, it is also the capital of Manchester City's four consecutive Premier League titles this season.

However, due to Ederson's presence, Moreno did not play much, which at one point made him unhappy and considered leaving Manchester City. As has been the case, Manchester City generally do not block players who want to leave. But after this battle, it is estimated that they will be deeply aware of the importance of Moreno. A salary increase to renew his contract to keep him is the best option for Manchester City.
