EPL: Title won’t be decided on goal difference after Man City’s win at Tottenham

Manchester City cannot win the Premier League title on goal differential after a 2-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday night.

Erling Haaland's brace against Spurs has put the champions on track to win the trophy for the fourth season in a row.


The nerve-racking victory increased City's lead to 88 points, two more than Arsenal in second position.
If Pep Guardiola's side wins their final match against West Ham, they will be proclaimed champions regardless of the outcome between Arsenal and Everton at the Emirates.

However, if they drop points and Arsenal defeats Sean Dyche's team, Mikel Arteta's side would win the league for the first time in 20 years.

The title could only have been decided on goal difference is if City drew against Spurs.
