West Ham – Manchester City 2-2 (2-0)
Manchester City will win the Premier League with a win in the last draw against Aston Villa at home.
That became clear after Pep Guardiola’s men turned 0-2 to 2-2 against West Ham. Still, it felt like dropping two points for the reigning champions.
Will will give everything we have to win games and titles, said Pep Guardiola.
– I can guarantee you something. In a week, our stadium will be very noisy and we will be fighting for life, and they will be fighting for life, for 95 minutes. It’s a great privilege to win a game at home and be champions, the Spaniard continued.
With City’s win, the little bit of excitement that remains in the title race is coming to a close. The young blues will lead by three points and a goal difference of at least +8 to Liverpool, with one more game to play – before the last half.
They say hope kills you, and there were probably many Liverpool supporters who saw a glimmer of hope when Jarrod Bowen put it 1-0 after 24 minutes. When the same man improved to 2-0 before the break, expectations had grown tremendously.
However, it only took a few minutes after the break before the heart rate dropped again, when Jack Grealish hit reduce. Now City’s players are looking for an important equalizer, which will ensure that a win in the last round of the series will secure the light blue league gold.
And after 68 minutes came the redemptive goal. A free kick is awarded into the box, and Vladimir Coufal stabs the ball into his own net.
Seven minutes from the end, Riyad Mahrez was able to dispel all the tension when he got a chance from the chalk mark after VAR intervened and asked the referee to look at his monitor, but Lukasz Fabianski threw himself to the left and saved the effort.
If Manchester City draw or lose to Steven Gerrards Aston Villa in the last game, Liverpool will win the league with wins against Southampton on Tuesday and Wolverhampton in the last round. With this victory, Guardiola’s team again won the league.
– I urge everyone, all the blue people in Manchester that day to take to the streets or the stadium, because we will give everything to win the Premier League, I believe that, said Guardiola.
May wish there was a thriller for neutral football supporters.
