Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has called on his teammates to “relax” as they move within touching distance of making history in the Premier League.

Thanks to two goals from Haaland, City won their match on Tuesday in north London, moving two points clear of Arsenal and back to the top of the league.

On Sunday, the last day of the season, City will win the Premier League for the fourth time in a row if they defeat West Ham at home. This is a record in the top division of English football.

“Yeah, fantastic mentality,” Haaland told City+. “Focus on game by game and now relax. We came here to try to win and we won.

Six minutes into the second half, Haaland opened the score with a tap-in off a pass from Kevin De Bruyne. After Pedro Porro brought down Jeremy Doku, Haaland doubled City’s lead from the penalty spot.

Spurs, however, had a chance to draw even, but Stefan Ortega, the City backup custodian, made a great save to deny Son Heung-min when the South Korean was one on one with him after Ederson was hurt in a challenge with Cristian Romero.

“They’re a fantastic team,” Haaland said of Spurs. “You know everyone knows that they want to play all the time and all praise to them.

“It was really difficult, but yeah, we came here to try and win and we won. That’s my only thing and I’m happy.

“I think we were a bit nervous. I think that’s normal, there’s a lot of emotions for everyone.

“Everyone knows the situation, but it’s about not thinking too much. Try to focus on your things to do and try to win.”

He added: “Ortega man of the match… What can I say? He’s incredible and such a good guy as well, so I’m happy for him.”
