Manchester vs Huddersfield's match at Etihad Stadium on Sunday ended with a goalless 0-0 draw. With this result, the hosts need one more point to equalize the record of most points in a season in the Premier League Chelsea.
Manchester City, who have secured the Premier League title, can not give a celebration party in front of their own supporters at 36 weeks. Instead Pep Guardiola's team is locked by their unsafe guests from the relegation zone.
Manchester City are seriously looking to score their 103rd goal of the season. This is evident from the Guardiola-derived formation. There are Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane, and Gabriel Jesus who lead the front line host. However, the bullets they throw are meaningless.
Exactly in the 11th minute, Huddersfield forced Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson to work hard. There was a close-range shot from Florent Hadergjonaj who tested Ederson.
The next golden opportunity came from Alex Pritchard in the 21st minute. This time Ederson blocked the goal midfielder's chances. City's chances are all-out, and they can only threaten through Kevin De Bruyne's shot that stops goalkeeper Jonas Lossl 10 minutes from time.
Second half, Manchester City dominance is not over. With the ball possession reaching 71 percent, they should be able to do better. But Huddersfield back line is very solid to turn off the movement of the host.
Guardiola, who does not want his party to break, takes advantage of three changes to include Benjamin Mendy, Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva. However, until finally, his position has not changed. In fact, there is momentum for the visitors in the 91st minute.
At that time, individual action Scott Malone almost made a dramatic goal if not stopped Ederson.
Instead, within two minutes, City's last chance through Leroy Sane was raw. Final score 0-0, City failed to celebrate their title with beautiful.
However, there are still two other matches for City targeting 100 points.
