Sergio Aguero Leads Manchester City Closer to Premier League Title
Manchester City is on the verge of securing their third Premier League title in four seasons after a 2-0 win against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday. Their nearest rivals, Manchester United, face a crucial match against current champions Liverpool on Sunday.
Match Highlights
Despite dominating possession for much of the game, Manchester City struggled to find a breakthrough until Sergio Aguero delivered a brilliant half-volley just before the hour mark. This goal shattered Crystal Palace’s resistance and set the tone for the win.
Shortly after Aguero's goal, Ferran Torres added a second with a precise low shot, doubling City's lead. The team continued to press forward, with Raheem Sterling hitting the woodwork and Joao Cancelo also coming close to scoring.
Championship Implications
- With four games remaining, Manchester City has amassed 80 points.
- They lead Manchester United by 13 points.
- Manchester United must beat Liverpool to keep their title hopes alive; a defeat would hand the title to City.
“It was a long time that I hadn’t played 90 minutes,” Aguero told the BBC. “The goal was good because maybe we can win the Premier League. Of course, if Liverpool win it’s better.”
Even if Manchester United manage a draw on Sunday, their chances of catching City remain slim due to an inferior goal difference.
Summary: Sergio Aguero’s brilliance propelled Manchester City to a vital victory, leaving them just steps away from the Premier League title as Manchester United face a tough challenge against Liverpool.
