A wonderful end to the 35th cycle in the Premier League and the drama is in full swing. Arsenal won another derby by beating Tottenham 3-2 earlier today in the north London derby, but Manchester City are not letting them get away and remain hanging on in the title race thanks to a 2-0 away win over Nottingham Forest that leaves the gap at a point.
Today at the City Ground in Nottingham, Manchester City was far from impressive and for many parts of the game it seemed that the bottom team’s goal was in the air, but in the end the champions did their job even in the absence of Phil Foden and with 28 minutes of Arling Holland on the grass. Kevin de Brauna scored twice, first for Yoshko Gabbardiol (32) and then for Holland who nine minutes after coming off the bench scored 0:2 in the 71st minute. City will hope that goalkeeper Ederson, who was injured and left at halftime, will not be absent from the decisive moments of the season. On the other hand, Nuno Espirito Santo’s Forest counts a single victory in its last 11 games and fortunately is still above the red line by a point.
As we know, the champions managed to put behind them the heartbreaking elimination against Real Madrid in the Champions League with three important league victories that ensured that their fate is still in their feet: if Manchester City wins all their games until the end of the season, they will be crowned champions again due to the missing game they have against Tottenham and the gap From the leader Arsenal who again dropped to a point.
