As the three-time defending champion, City heads into the final round of games on Sunday with a two-point lead over second-place Arsenal. City will host West Ham in their last league game of the season, while Arsenal will face Everton at home. Reflecting on the upcoming challenge, City manager Pep Guardiola likened it to the pressure of serving to win Wimbledon, emphasizing the difficulty of the task ahead due to the quality of their rivals. Haaland opened the scoring in the 51st minute at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, converting Kevin De Bruyne’s cross from close range. He then secured his brace from the penalty spot in the first minute of stoppage time, following a foul on Jeremy Doku by Pedro Porro.
Victory means City is in control of its own fate in the race for the title, despite being pushed right to the wire by Arsenal.
Guardiola is now within touching distance of a sixth league championship in seven seasons.
