Man City beat Spurs, on brink of record Prem title

Soccer

Erling Haaland‘s double put Manchester City within touching distance of an unprecedented fourth successive Premier League title as they beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 away on Tuesday.

The Norwegian tapped home his side’s opener early in the second half and settled City’s nerves in stoppage time when he blasted home a penalty for his 27th league goal of the season.

City had failed to earn a point or score a goal in their first four league visits to Tottenham’s new stadium but ended that jinx in timely fashion to the joy of their supporters.

Pep Guardiola’s City have 88 points to Arsenal‘s 86 and will be guaranteed to make history if they beat West Ham United at home on Sunday on the Premier League’s last day of the season when Arsenal host Everton.

It was far from a vintage City performance and they almost conceded an equaliser to Son Heung-Min late on, just before Haaland made sure they kept their destiny in their own hands.
