Tottenham vs Man City Premier League 2023/24 Highlights | Haaland's brace and Ortega's heroics put City back at the top of the table

Erling Haaland scored a brace while Stefan Ortega made some crucial saves coming from the bench for Manchester City FC as Pep Guardiola's men defeated Tottenham Hotspur by 2-0 in London to reclaim the top spot in the Premier League 2023-24 points table. The first half went goalless but Haaland found the net from a Kevin de Bruyne assist in the 51st minute to put City in front. 

However, an injury to Ederson changed the dynamic of the match as City were forced to replace him with Ortega in the goal. But, Ortega stepped up and made four huge saves to deny Spurs again and again. Son Heung Min had the best chance for the home team in the second half, but Ortega's save meant City had the lead. In the dying minutes of the match, Doku earned a penalty and Haaland doubled the lead for City.

City will now have to beat West Ham United on Sunday to win their record fourth consecutive Premier League title.

Haaland on Ortega

"It is incredible. It is so good and he is a good guy as well. He will have to go Euros now as he is so good and so important. I almost had a heart attack to be honest [during Son chance].

"There is a lot of emotions. There is one more game. We need to be relaxed and focused and believe in ourselves."

Words from Spurs head coach
"It was a tight game and in the big moments we weren't able to capitalise and they were. I thought we were in the game the whole time, even at 1-0 we had a great chance to go level. In the second half we were chasing the game so they got a little more space but I thought we were well in it up until [the second goal]. We had the opportunities and we had to punish them."



May 15, 2024 03:08 IST
"We go again on Sunday": Haaland

"My heart was beating so quickly. I told Ruben while I was standing there I was so tired. It was the first time I didn't think. It was all about getting the ball in the back of the net.

"One more. Don't think. Now relax and we go again on Sunday. We don't celebrate yet."

City celebrate!
