Double the Champ! Erling Haaland Brace Secures Man City the Top Spot in the EPL Table
City's Erling Haaland proved himself to be double the champ we know him to be after scoring a brace that won them their hard-fought match against Tottenham. Haaland scored his first in the 51st minute, a fabulous tap-in assisted by Kevin De Bruyne, then added a cherry second by converting a penalty in 90 + 1'.
Dimming UCL Hopes for Spurs
On the other hand, the loss against City means that Spurs will likely miss out on automatic UEFA Champions League qualification as it now leaves them fifth in the EPL Table with 68 points. Nonetheless, Spurs have had an impeccable season with our hats going off to their coach Ange Postecoglou for his prowess.
A Seeming Loss for Arsenal
Manchester City's win yesterday now dethrones Arsenal from the top of Premier League Standings. Arsenal have been very formidable this season, really giving City a run for their money and we have to salute them for their beautiful performance this season. All is not lost yet and Arsenal may surprise us.
