Defeating Everton, Man City moves closer to Premier League title

Facing Everton, who are struggling in the relegation zone, Man City easily won 3 points to move closer to the championship.

Right after the opening whistle, Pep Guardiola's team actively pushed their opponents back into their own half. Everton arranged a multi-layered defense to create tightness and limit the playing space of the away team. Therefore, for more than half of the first half, Man City did not create any truly dangerous opportunities.

Defeating Everton, Man City moves closer to Premier League title - 1 — Gundogan contributed to all 3 goals of Man City.

It wasn't until the 37th minute that Man City opened the scoring thanks to Gundogan's brilliance. Receiving a pass from Mahrez with his back to goal, the German midfielder finished with class, leaving Pickford helpless. Everton's players had not yet recovered from the loss when they had to pick the ball out of the net again.

In the 39th minute, Gundogan ran up the left wing before crossing the ball for Haaland to easily double the gap for Man City. The Norwegian striker continued to increase his record of scoring in a season in the Premier League to 36 goals.

In the second half, Gundogan continued to play an important role in Man City's play. In the 51st minute, Gundogan took an accurate free kick to bring the score to 3-0. In the remaining time, Man City slowed down to save energy. They created a few more chances but failed to capitalize on them. 3-0 was the final result of the match.

Man City temporarily widened the gap with Arsenal to 4 points. Man City only needs to win 2 more matches to be crowned Premier League champions.
