By winning in north London, Pep Guardiola‘s side know that three points in our final league assignment in 2023/24, a home fixture with West Ham, will secure the crown.
Following a goalless and tense first half at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Erling Haaland euphorically broke the deadlock shortly after the break when he ghosted into the box and poked home Kevin De Bruyne‘s pinpoint cross.
It represented our first league goal at the arena which has been home to Ange Postecoglu’s side since 2019 and it may be well worth the wait.
Following the Norwegian international’s opener, Stefan Ortega replaced Ederson after the latter bravely collided with Cristian Romero.
And we had the German goalkeeper to thank for preserving our lead when he denied Heung-min Son after the clinical attacker broke through on goal.
We all but secured three points soon after when Haaland coolly dispatched a penalty after Jeremy Doku was brought down inside the area.
It means we move back to the division’s summit ahead of this weekend’s Premier League finale.
