In the early hours of May 15, Man City defeated Tottenham 2-0 thanks to a double from Erling Haaland in the rescheduled match of Premier League round 34.
At home, Tottenham made things difficult for Man City. Ange Postecoglou's squad played determinedly in the first half, thwarting all the visitors' scoring efforts.
The best chance in the first half came to Man City in the 45th minute. Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva both attempted shots from close range but failed to open the scoring.https://bt-streamsport.store/
After a tense period of waiting, Man City fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium erupted with emotion as the reigning champions capitalized on an opportunity to take the lead. In the 51st minute, Kevin De Bruyne broke down the wing and crossed for Haaland to finish from close range, leaving goalkeeper Vicario no chance to save.
Haaland shone in this crucial match. After conceding, Tottenham pushed back fiercely. The home side's determination led to injuries for two Man City players, De Bruyne and Ederson. However, substitutes brought on by Pep Guardiola, goalkeeper Stefan Ortega and winger Jeremy Doku, played heroic roles, helping the visitors secure the match.
Ortega made two outstanding saves when faced with Dejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-min. In the 86th minute, Pep Guardiola couldn't believe it when Manuel Akanji lost the ball to Son Heung-min. Ortega's excellent reflexes saved Man City from a clear goal.

Just four minutes after narrowly escaping, Doku shone by successfully converting a penalty. Haaland took the opportunity to seal a 2-0 victory for the visitors.
Man City secured their first win against Tottenham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, moving closer to winning this season's Premier League title. In the final round, Pep Guardiola's squad will be crowned champions if they defeat West Ham at the Etihad Stadium, without needing to worry about the result of second-placed Arsenal.
Meanwhile, the 0-2 defeat means Spurs no longer have a chance to finish in the top 4. Son Heung-min and his teammates will have to settle for a Europa League spot next season.
