This morning, the Premier League witnessed an extremely vital encounter for both the championship race and the Top 4 status. Because they all share the same 3-point goal, it is not unexpected that Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City took a cautious approach, resulting in a well balanced contest.

However, whenever an opportunity to attack arose, both teams did not hesitate to “retaliate,” resulting in numerous perilous scenarios in the first half. However, no goals were scored in the first 45 minutes, despite Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva taking consecutive accurate attempts in the Spurs penalty area just before the break.

When the second half began, both teams deliberately increased the tempo, with Kevin De Bruyne and Son Heung-min taking incredibly dangerous shots in the penalty area. However, Vicario and Ederson both performed admirably to salvage the home team. However, in the 51st minute, Erling Haaland scored to break the deadlock with a spectacular scenario.

After a smart run to catch the ball, De Bruyne threw a cross for Haaland and completely eliminated the Spurs defense and goalkeeper Vicario. Facing an empty goal and not being marked by anyone, the Norwegian striker easily put the ball into the net to open the score for the away team. 

In the 55th minute, Dejan Kulusevski was brought onto the field to replace Rodrigo Bentancur, and he immediately brought positive impacts, helping Spurs’ attack play more effectively and continuously hitting the goal line. The away team encountered turbulence. After a series of defensive situations, in the 86th minute, Manuel Akanji’s mistake allowed Son to face Stefan Ortega, but in the end, his shot could not beat the goalkeeper coming in from the field. bench.
