In the 35th round of the English Premier League, Manchester City hosted Wolverhampton.
According to "Report", the match, refereed by Peter Banks, took place at the City of Manchester Stadium.
Only one goal was scored in the match, which was not distinguished by sharp attacks: in the 35th minute, the Belgian midfielder of the "cityzens" Kevin De Bruyne made the most of the pass from his compatriot Jeremy Doku – 1:0. The rest of the game was under the control of Josep Guardiola's players.
Thus, with three weeks left before the end of the season, Manchester City climbed to the third step in the standings, strengthening their place in the top five, which guarantees a ticket to the Champions League. Manchester City's closest pursuers are Newcastle (62 points), Chelsea (60) and Nottingham Forest (60), with one game in hand. At the same time, the "cityzens" are only three points behind Arsenal (with one game in hand). The leader of the tournament table is Liverpool. The "Reds" officially secured their championship title last round.
Let us remind you that at least five teams from the English Premier League will qualify for the Champions League (CL) next season. After Arsenal's 3-0 victory over Real Madrid in London in the first leg of the Champions League 1/4 final stage, England was guaranteed to be represented in this tournament by a minimum of five teams next season. In addition, the victory of Manchester United and Tottenham, who are one step away from the final of the Europa League, in this tournament will also open an additional place for English teams.
