After routing relegation-threatened Everton at Goodison Park, Manchester City needs two victories to win the Premier League title. With six points from their final three games against Chelsea, Brighton, and Brentford, Pep Guardiola's team will be assured of winning their third consecutive league title.
Mason Holgate made the Toffees pay dearly for his apparent error when unmarked at the far post, the defender somehow hooked over from a few yards. Up until that time, City had been in second place, but they demonstrated how proficient they are in front of goal by moving to the other end and scoring twice in the space of two minutes.
Ilkay Gundogan was the hero of the show, contributing to each of City's three goals with a beautiful flicked finish before setting up Erling Haaland for a close-range header with a cross. In the second half, the midfielder curled in a beautiful free kick from the edge of the area as City surged four points ahead at the top. However, Arsenal may close the gap with a victory over Brighton later on Sunday. Everton's setback has them uneasily looking over their shoulders with two games left, only one point above the relegation zone.
