Haaland heroics put Man City on verge of Premier League history

Manchester City took a decisive step towards a record-breaking fourth consecutive Premier League title with a 2-0 victory over Tottenham on Tuesday, courtesy of two goals from Erling Haaland.

Haaland found the net early in the second half, tapping in a precise cross from Kevin De Bruyne for City's first-ever league goal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. He then converted a late penalty to secure the win for City.


The victory, coupled with Arsenal's result, sees Pep Guardiola's side two points clear at the top of the table with one game remaining. Guardiola emphasised the significance of the upcoming match against West Ham, urging fans to rally behind the team for the final push.

Tottenham's defeat also confirmed Aston Villa's fourth-place finish and Champions League qualification alongside City, Arsenal, and Liverpool for the next season.

Guardiola acknowledged the tense atmosphere surrounding the match and called for fan support, likening the final game to the crucial moments in tennis and football history.

The game saw a vocal display from Spurs fans, expressing their disdain for Arsenal, City's closest rivals in the title race.

Despite a competitive start from both teams, City's superiority eventually showed as Haaland capitalised on De Bruyne's assist to break the deadlock.

The match saw interruptions due to injuries to De Bruyne and City goalkeeper Ederson, who was replaced by Stefan Ortega.

Ortega made a crucial save late in the game, denying Son Heung-min a goal-scoring opportunity.

City then sealed the victory with Haaland's penalty in stoppage time, setting off jubilant celebrations among the players and fans.

With one game left in the season, City are on the brink of making football history once again, aiming to secure their fourth consecutive Premier League title.

Early risers in the UK witness stunning Blood Moon eclipse

In the early hours of Friday morning, stargazers across the UK were treated to a partial lunar eclipse, with many enthusiasts rising before dawn to catch a glimpse. The celestial event, which saw the Earth's shadow partially covering the Moon, began at 05:09 GMT. Although only partial for most UK observers, it still presented a spectacular sight, with western parts of the country and regions further afield, such as the Americas and some Pacific islands, witnessing the eclipse.

For some, like Kathleen Maitland, the experience was magical. Stargazing from Pagham Harbour in West Sussex, she described the beauty of watching the Moon gradually darken and transform into a reddish hue, with the sunrise unfolding behind her. The eclipse gave rise to the so-called "blood Moon," a phenomenon that occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth’s shadow, turning a dusky red as sunlight is refracted through the Earth's atmosphere.

Sunak symbolised how high ethnic minority talent can rise

“MY POLITICAL journey was so quick,” former prime minister Rishi Sunak told Nick Robinson during a two-hour BBC podcast on his lessons from Downing Street.

Sunak’s meteoric rise and demise makes him a former prime minister at 44. Was it too much, too young? Did he make a mistake in grabbing a couple of years as prime minister after the implosion of Liz Truss?
