City a win away from clinching their 5th Premier League title

Image
Manchester City  drew an emphatic line under a difficult week by moving to within one win of the Premier League title with a 3-1 victory over  Tottenham . Gabriel Jesus' opener and an Ilkay Gundogan penalty moved Pep Guardiola's men to the brink of the title in a majestic opening 25 minutes at Wembley. Pep Guardiola is on the brink of clinching the Premier League title after Manchester City’s magnificent victory at Wembley. City boss Guardiola’s champions elect now just need one more win and can even be crowned tomorrow in the unlikely event that Manchester United lose at home to bottom-of-the-table West Brom. This was a superb win as City recovered after three straight defeats - twice to Liverpool in the Chanpions League and to United in the Manchester derby - with a comprehensive victory to outclass Tottenham.

On Saturday Manchester City face Totteham Hotspurs at the Wembley Stadium where a win would leave City needing just another win to win the league .

Here are some key facts to get you in the mood for an enthralling clash at Wembley- Tottenham have won their last two home league games against Man City. They last had a longer run against them between 2005 and 2009 (6).  Man City have only won one of their last five Premier League games against Spurs (D1 L3), though it was in the reverse fi...

Last week went from bad to worse for Manchester City. After a humbling 3-0 defeat to Liverpool in the first leg of the Champions League quarter finals, they had the chance to bounce back in a big way: a Manchester Derby face-off between them and 2nd-placed United, with the added stakes of a win, finally clinching the title. Pep Guardiola's side seemed to be cruising to the crown as they went in at the break with a 2-0 lead, but United conjured an extraordinary response led by two-goal Paul Pogba before Chris Smalling hit the winner. The home side were controlling the opening stages but United offered some threat when Pogba was fouled on the left only for Alexis Sanchez to waste the free kick. Back came City and, after 21 minutes, David Silva got onto the end of a loose ball after good work from Raheem Sterling but sent his effort high and wide. That was a warning for an increasingly stretched United, whose keeper David De Gea soon had to make a good save to thwart Berna...
