In the early hours of May 15, 2024, the Premier League ushered in a high-profile matchup, with Tottenham Hotspur playing Manchester City at home.
The background and key moments of this game are destined to go down in history.
As soon as the game began, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle.
Manchester City showed their strength, while Tottenham did not show signs of weakness and tried to find opportunities.
In the 86th minute, Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji made a fatal mistake and Son Heung-min had a great one-on-one shot on goal, but sadly, he couldn't find the ball in the back of the net.
Seeing this scene, Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola's emotions instantly became excited.
He was so angry at Akanji's mistake that he collapsed to the ground, a scene full of drama.
But Pep Guardiola is a seasoned master tactician, and he quickly adjusted his tactics and replaced him with Belgian youngster Jeremy Doku.
Doku came on and put in an excellent performance that brought new life to City's attack.
It wasn't long before City were given a crucial chance.
Substitute goalkeeper Ortega made a stunning save to deny a threatening attack from Tottenham.
The save almost sealed the win for City.
Doku then played well in the game and managed to win a penalty for his team.
Erling Haaland hit the penalty to give City a 2-0 lead.
Manchester City won 2-0 at Tottenham Hotspur and Haaland completed the double as he scored 63 goals in 65 Premier League games, a record for goals scored in the previous two seasons.
The win is significant for Manchester City, who are on track to become the first Premier League club to win four consecutive titles, and a last-round win over West Ham United would make history.
After the game, Manchester City midfielder Rodri spoke highly of the performances of the substitutes, particularly Ortega and Doku.
Specialist Carragher agrees that Ortega's save almost decided the league title.
It was a painful defeat for Tottenham.
They lost 2-0 and their hopes of Champions League qualification were dashed.
They are already nine points behind Aston Villa in the standings and have no hope of finishing in the top four.
What is even more infuriating is that some Tottenham fans applauded the defeat, believing that it would prevent Arsenal from winning the title.
Their behavior has attracted criticism from the outside world, after all, the team's defeat is something that no one wants to see.
Aston Villa made a historic breakthrough.
They qualified for the Champions League with a fourth finish in the Premier League, a major achievement in their club's history.
And Villa's coach Unai Emery was even more indispensable, leading the team to defeat Arsenal and indirectly help Manchester City win the title.
In the battle for Europa League and UEFA Europa League qualification, the suspense remains.
It depends on the outcome of the FA Cup, with a win over Manchester City then United qualify for the Europa League, otherwise they will be relegated to sixth place in the league.
Chelsea, on the other hand, will be looking to qualify for the UEFA Europa League through the league rankings, as they need to overtake Newcastle and hope for Manchester United to lose the FA Cup.
This Premier League match showcased the charm and drama of football.
City's victory brought them one step closer to a historic achievement, while Tottenham's defeat was a sad sight.
The landscape of the Premier League has also changed because of this game, and the future development is full of uncertainty.
