- Laporte’s goal clinches final win over Tottenham
- Guardiola: ‘The Premier League is the nicest one’
Pep Guardiola urged his Manchester City side to channel the momentum from their Carabao Cup final win against Tottenham and seal “the most important title of the season” by winning their next two Premier League games.
City ticked off one-third of a potential treble by deservedly winning at Wembley through Aymeric Laporte’s 82nd‑minute header, watched by 7,773 supporters in the biggest crowd to have attended a domestic game for more than 13 months. It was their fourth successive victory in this competition and they were given another boost by Manchester United’s goalless draw at Leeds earlier in the day, which means six points from their final five top-flight games would guarantee the title.
