Coach Pep Guardiola’s team had a sublime first half at Amex Stadium after Kevin De Bruyne gave them the lead and a brace from young talent Phil Foden. Julian Alvarez ended the goal drought by scoring a 4-0 victory for Man City to ensure Erling Haaland’s absence was not too serious.

“It’s a good result for us, really good. I said before, what we’ve done in the past doesn’t mean we’ll do it in the future. We have to win every game “Every match we get closer to our goal,” coach Guardiola said after the match.
With this win, the defending champion takes second place in Liverpool’s group and is temporarily 1 point behind top team Arsenal.
Liverpool’s surprise defeat to Everton was a big boost for Man City in the title race after Arsenal beat Chelsea 5-0. And the walk on the south coast helped “Green Man” hold the championship destiny in his hands. Guardiola’s team, which plays one match less than Arsenal and Liverpool, will be crowned champions for the fourth consecutive season – an unprecedented achievement in English football history – if they maintain stable performance.
Foden maintains high form
With at least 4 goals in each of the last 4 matches, Man City is once again regaining form at the right time. But Guardiola warned: “What happened to Liverpool – two defeats in a row – it could happen to Arsenal, it could happen to us. The important thing is we still have a lot of games to play.” play”.
Coach Guardiola has complained about the “unacceptable” match schedule, which he believes will put his players’ health at risk. The Spanish coach also said that the players became slow in the 1-0 win against Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals.
Man City’s next match is a trip to Nottingham Forest this weekend, while Arsenal faces a big challenge when they come to Tottenham, the team still competing for the European Cup next season.
