Man City were a Heung-min Son shot from making Arsenal Premier League favorites and how they nearly blew it

City picked up a nervy road win at Spurs to put one hand around the title
LONDON -- When the deck is as stacked in their favor as it is for a club with the best coach, the best players, the most comprehensive front office and the most money; should it really come as close to falling apart as it did for Manchester City? If Heung-min Son finishes with anything like his usual aplomb that may have been it, Tottenham thrusting themselves and City into five days of waking nightmare.
Instead, history beckons for Manchester City. Beat West Ham United on Sunday and Pep Guardiola will have another record that is his and his alone, the manager of the first team to win four straight English league titles. The bearhugs shared in front of a rapidly emptying Tottenham Hotspur Stadium said enough. David Moyes is not going to be allowed to do any favors to his protegee on Sunday.
Guardiola might never have heard of "squeaky bum time" before the start of this week. He lived it tonight with Son's miss.
