Manchester City head coach, Pep Guardiola, has insisted that Stefan Ortega’s save to deny Son Heung-Min has stopped Arsenal from becoming Premier League champions this season.
Ortega, a second-half substitute for Ederson, pulled off a fine stop to deny Son with the score at 1-0.
Erling Haaland had put Man City in front, after fine work from Kevin De Bruyne.
In the closing stages of the match, Haaland scored again from the spot to give Guardiola’s side all three points against Tottenham.
Guardiola was asked about the match-defining match, the Spanaird said at his post-match interview:
“Stefan Ortega has saved us. Otherwise Arsenal are Premier League champions.
“He has done this since he arrived. We saw the level of keeper he is. He makes incredible saves and does it so many times.”
