Erling Haaland scored twice as Manchester City beat Tottenham 2-0 on Tuesday and moved to within one win of a record fourth-straight Premier League title.
The three-time defending champion will go into the final round of games on Sunday with a two-point lead over second-place Arsenal.
City hosts West Ham in its last league game of the season, while Arsenal is also at home against Everton.
âThe tennis players say âthe serve to win Wimbledonâ, the last game, is the most difficult one,â City manager Pep Guardiola said. âWe know what weâre playing for. The tension is there, the rival is so good. Itâs why it is difficult, we know that.â
Haaland fired City ahead in the 51st minute at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when he converted Kevin De Bruyneâs cross from close range.
He struck his second from the penalty spot in the first minute of stoppage time after Pedro Porro had brought down Jeremy Doku.
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.
No other English team has managed to win four top flight titles in a row, while City is also looking to secure back-to-back league and FA Cup doubles.
Going into Tuesdayâs game one point behind Arsenal, Guardiola had warned his players that anything other than maximum points would bring an end to their dominance of Englandâs top division. That only increased the pressure on his team, which was also looking to end a four-game losing run in the league at Spurs.
