Manchester City are back into the top-four thanks to a 1-0 win over Tottenham. Man City, who began the night 20 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool, had dropped to fifth in the table following Chelsea’s 4-0 win over Southampton on Tuesday, but have boosted their chances of Champions League qualification with a deserved win in north London.
Erling Haaland returned for Man City after a two-game absence and the prolific striker did not need long to mark his comeback in classic fashion. After missing an earlier chance, he broke the deadlock in the 12th minute as he had the simple task of tapping the ball home following great wing play from Jeremy Doku whose cross did take a deflection before finding the Norwegian.
