Using Akanji’s moment of distraction in the 86th minute of Tottenham vs. Man City, the Tottenham player snatched the ball directly in the opponent’s field. Stefan Ortega faced Son Heung Min, but the Korean sensation finished too softly, giving the opposing team’s goalie an opportunity to block. Coach Pep Guardiola was seen on camera on the sidelines when he stumbled backward into the field as a result of this error.
Man City was ahead 1-0 at the moment, so Son Heung Min had cause for sorrow. The “blue half of Manchester” won 2-0 in the end thanks to a goal from Erling Haaland, who scored just minutes after the Tottenham captain’s wasted opportunity.
With 88 points from 37 games, Man City officially overtook Arsenal as the top team in the Premier League table, leading the “Gunners” by 2 points. With just one round remaining in the season, they have a slim chance of winning the title and taking home the English football king title for the fourth time in a row.
In addition to Arsenal, Tottenham “surrendered” in the race for fourth place, which is the same as finishing last in the Champions League, as a result of the Manchester City defeat. With 63 points from 37 games, “Rooster” was 5 points behind Aston Villa in fifth place.
