However, City seemed to have…

Erling Haaland Record: Striker Is A Joy, Says Pep Guardiola

wontumionlineSports,
Pep Guardiola demanded a guard of honour from his players and staff to mark Erling Haaland’s Premier League goal record – to show the striker just how special an achievement it is. Haaland’s finish in a 3-0 win over West Ham means he now has 35 league goals for the season. He has passed the record previously shared by Alan Shearer and Andy Cole. “When there is a special occasion, we have to show how special it is,” said Guardiola. Haaland’s sublime chip over Lukasz Fabianski from Jack Grealish’s through ball took him to 51 goals for the season in…

Manchester City Hammer Arsenal To Go Within Two Points Of Top Spot

wontumionlineSports, ,
Manchester City delivered a masterclass to overwhelm Premier League leaders Arsenal and strike a huge psychological blow in the title race at Etihad Stadium. The confrontation billed as a potential title decider turned into an embarrassingly one-sided affair. Pep Guardiola’s side, now two points behind Arsenal with two games in hand, were inspired by the devastating partnership of Erling Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne. Haaland set De Bruyne away for a silky finish for City’s opener after seven minutes, and Arsenal then survived a constant bombardment of attacks before John Stones headed home from a corner in first-half stoppage time,…

wontumionlineSports, ,
Huge congratulations to Erling Haaland who is now City’s all-time top scorer in a single season.

In total, Johnson played 355 games for the sky blues, scoring 166 goals across 11 seasons, which puts him third…

Man City Goes Top With Win Over Title Rivals Arsenal

wontumionlineSports, ,
Manchester City returned to the top of the Premier League for the first time since November as they leapfrogged leaders Arsenal with a vital victory at Emirates Stadium. The reigning champions turned on the power in the second half in the biggest game of the domestic season as Arsenal paid a heavy price for individual errors. Takehiro Tomiyasu’s poor backpass allowed Kevin de Bruyne to loft a finish over Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale after 24 minutes but Arsenal deservedly drew level three minutes before half-time, Bukayo Saka scoring from the spot after City goalkeeper Ederson fouled Eddie Nketiah. City, lacking…

I Turned Down Manchester City Transfer To Play At AFCON 2008 – Asamoah Gyan

wontumionlineSports, ,
Ghana’s all-time top scorer, Asamoah Gyan, says his decision to play at the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) cost him a move to English Premier League giants Manchester City. Gyan, who at the time was playing for Italian Serie A side Udinese, was far from his best as he struggled with injury and fitness concerns which also drew huge criticisms from Ghanaians, who were expecting the Black Stars to win the competition. But for the intervention of Ghana’s president at the time, John Agyekum Kuffour, the player would have left the Black Stars camp as he felt the criticisms were…

Manchester City 3-2 Liverpool: EFL Cup Fourth-Round Tie Was ‘Spectacular’, Says Jurgen Klopp

wontumionlineSports,
Four days after Argentina and France served up what some have claimed to be the greatest game of all time in the most important game, Manchester City and Liverpool provided their own treat at Etihad Stadium to remind everyone English domestic football remains the most entertaining weekly dish on the menu. Despite five goals, 25 shots and two confrontations involving City midfielder Rodri, this EFL Cup fourth-round tie will clearly not live anywhere near as long in the memory as the efforts of Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe in Qatar. But, for the 50,000-plus in attendance and those watching on TV at…
