Manchester City Storm Drowns Luton Town

Manchester City achieved a valuable victory over its guest, Luton, with a score of (5-1) at the Etihad Stadium, today, Saturday, in the 33rd round of the English Premier League.

Man City took the lead with an own goal scored by Daiki Hashioka (2), before Kovacic, Haaland, Doku and Gvardiol scored the rest of the goals (64, 76, 87, 90 + 3).

Ross Barkley scored Luton Town's only goal in the 81st minute.

Man City temporarily jumped to the top of the standings by reaching 73 points, while Luton remained in the relegation zone, occupying 18th place with 25 points.

One minute was enough for De Bruyne to send a through pass towards Haaland, who was alone on goal but shot the ball into goalkeeper Tomas Kaminski's position.

The ball bounced to Doku, who dribbled and shot it, but the defense blocked it valiantly, and it bounced back to Haaland, who met it with a flying shot, hitting Hashioka in the face and then into the net, giving City the first goal through friendly fire.

Gvardiol decided to emulate his goal against Real Madrid recently, with a powerful shot with his right, but Kaminski was waiting for it.

The visitors' goalkeeper returned to defend his goal by again blocking a shot fired by Nunez, and Haaland also missed the opportunity for a certain goal after he met a cross, with a quick touch, and the ball went over the crossbar.

Gvardiol rose to a perfect cross from De Bruyne, directing a header that went wide of the goal before the post deprived Matheus Nunez of the home team's booster goal after a powerful low shot from inside the penalty area.

Before the end of regular time, Luton's goalkeeper stood, blocking a powerful shot fired by De Bruyne from outside the penalty area, which eventually turned into a corner.

While City's deluge continued towards Kaminski's goal, Luton could not threaten the hosts with any opportunity until the end of the first half, with the Cityzens leading (1-0).

The beginning of the second half was calm, with the first opportunity coming after 7 minutes from a shot fired by Ruben Diaz on the edge of the penalty area, but the ball passed near the left post.

Kaminski then stood in the way of De Bruyne's shot, before Diaz returned to threatening the visitors' goal with a wonderful shot that passed near the left post again.

Kovacic tried his luck with a shot from the edge of the penalty area, but the ball hit a defender and turned into a corner.

Kovacic redeemed himself immediately afterward with a second goal for City, after he met a ball inside the area with a strong shot, which landed inside the net.

By the 66th minute, Luton reached City's goal with the first shot through Woodrow, who met a ground cross with a lightning kick, and his ball hit the crossbar, wasting the opportunity to reduce.

Doku was able to get a penalty kick after being blocked by Onyindinma, from which Haaland scored the third goal for the hosts.

Ederson defended his goal with a wonderful block from Woodrow's low shot, and the ball rebounded to substitute mpanzu, who directed a shot into the outside net.

Nunez committed a fatal mistake by losing the ball in front of the penalty area, so Barkley retrieved it before dribbling the City player, then fired a creeping shot that went past the Brazilian goalkeeper.

After penetrating from the left side of the Luton penalty area, Doku wanted to put the ball into the far right corner, but it deviated from the target and went over the goal.

Doku tried again in the same way, but this time he succeeded in finding the net with a creeping low shot, increasing the home team's lead with a fourth goal.

In stoppage time, Gvardiol found the ball in front of him inside the penalty area, and he shot it with his right force, into Kaminski's net, concluding City's five-man win.
