WHAT A MATCH THIS WAS BETWEEN TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR AND MANCHESTER CITY LAST NIGHT (14/05/2024). THE VERY WISE AND GRACIOUS BIG ANGE HAD SAID BEFORE THE MATCH THAT HE WAS ‘ENCOURAGING THESE YOUNG ATHLETES WITH MUCH POTENTIAL TO BE AS CREATIVE AS POSSIBLE AGAINST THE VERY BEST.’ (OR WORDS TO THAT EFFECT.) THE MATCH STARTED OFF QUITE SLOWLY, WITH EVERYONE SEEMINGLY SIZING EACH OTHER UP, BUT HEATED UP IN THE SECOND-HALF, WITH TWO SPECTACULAR GOALS FROM ERLING HAALAND. ONE, WHICH PASSED FROM SILVA, TO DE BRUYNE, THEN OVER TO HAALAND, WHERE THE TELEPATHY BETWEEN THEM WAS ONCE AGAIN IN PERFECT SYNC. AND THE SECOND HAALAND GOAL AT 90 +1 MINS., TAKEN FROM A PENALTY WAS SO POWERFUL, THAT WHEN IT HIT THE BACK OF THE NET, THE GOALPOST SHOOK! EDERSON WAS BADLY INJURED DURING THE MATCH AFTER AN UNFORTUNATE CLASH WITH ROMERO, AND HE WAS REPLACED BY ORTEGA, WHO DID NOT DISAPPOINT! IN FACT, STEFAN ORTEGA MORENO WAS READY FOR SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, INCLUDING TWO FROM A VERY DETERMINED KULUSEVSKI, AND ONE FROM SON HEUNG-MIN, WHO RAN LIKE LIGHTING WITH THE BALL HALFWAY UP THE PITCH, BUT WAS STOPPED BY ORTEGA WHO HAD SEEN HIM COMING! THERE WERE A TOTAL OF FIVE SHOTS ON TARGET FOR BOTH TEAMS, AND THE RESULT OF THIS EXCITING MATCH HAS TAKEN MAN CITY TO THE TOP OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE AGAIN, AND ONE MORE STEP TOWARDS WINNING THE TITLE! A FANTASTIC RESULT FOR PEP AND MAN CITY! THE TOTTENHAM BOYS SHOULDN’T BE TOO DISAPPOINTED THOUGH, THEY HELD THEIR OWN AND IT WAS A RESPECTABLE SCORE – WHEN YOU CONSIDER THEY WERE PLAYING AGAINST ERLING HAALAND (& CO.) WHO WILL PROBABLY CONSIDER THEM WORTHY ADVERSARIES. MANY CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL FOR THE FANTASTIC ENTERTAINMENT!
