City defeat Spurs to go top of the league ahead of the final matchday of the Premier League.

All eyes were on north London as Tottenham welcomed city for the 34th round of the premier league that was long overdue.

This was a high stake match for a lot was on the line here. Tottenham needed the points to narrow the gap between them and Aston villa for the Champions League spot.

Man City on the other hand, the reapers of the premier league, were travelling to a stadium that they had never scored to get a win that would take them to the top of the premier league before the final day.

Tottenham had the biggest backing from their own fans and the arsenal fans as well but they couldn’t beat City who proved their character as champions

Spurs came closets first through Bentancur whose shot got tipped over the bar by Ederson. The first half ended all draw with Tottenham seeming to hand Arsenal the best gift of stealing points from city.

In the second half, after a tireless, relentless press from city, they managed to break the deadlock through Haaland who was teed up nicely by Kevin de Bruyne for an easy tap in.

The whole stadium was left in awe after a heroic save from Ortega who was subbed in for Ederson. Son was through on goal after a defensive mistake by the city defense. Ortega bravely rushed out to stop the effort.

Doku, who was subbed in for De Bruyne won a penalty in the final minutes of the 90. His quick feet were a menace. Porro fouled him and the referee pointed straight at the spot.

Haaland scoring his second goal from the penalty spot. Haaland scoring his second goal from the penalty spot.

Haaland stepped up to get his brace scoring a thumping penalty. He will now surely win the golden boot as he has stretched his tally to 27 goals in the league.

The title race will be taken to the final day. Arsenal will be up against Everton and Man City will face West Ham at home.

If City lose to West Ham which is almost impossible and Arsenal win, the league will be won by Arsenal with only one point.
