Manchester City defender Kyle Walker, talking to Sky Sports after moving to within a win of the Premier League title: "It was very difficult with the emotions riding on it but the lads did the job they needed to do. It is one step closer. You have to take every game as it comes. We had a job to do tonight but we know how things can swing.

"We prepare, we recover and West Ham is another final and hopefully we can go and make history for this great club. It is not job done by a million miles. Hopefully we can get the win. If I didn't enjoy the pressure, I would be in the wrong job and the wrong team.

"Last night, I couldn't sleep. They tried to set fireworks off but we weren't there, they missed us. I can't describe the feeling when we went 2-0 up.

"It was an unusual game but we are competitors. Spurs could have gone and got the Champions League. You could see they were putting everything on the line to win the game."

• Manchester City will sit top of the Premier League table heading into the final day of the season for the sixth time in the last seven seasons (exception 2019-20), going on to win the title in each of those previous campaigns.

• City are now unbeaten in 22 consecutive Premier League games (W18 D4), including all 18 in 2024 (W15 D3). The last two teams to make as long an unbeaten start to a calendar year failed to go on to win the title in that same year (Liverpool in 2022 – 2nd and Chelsea in 2008 – 2nd).

• None of Tottenham’s 19 home league games finished as a draw this season (W13 L6) - It is the first time in their history that they have not drawn at home in a league campaign.

• Tottenham are now guaranteed to finish outside of the top four positions in the Premier League for the fourth time in the last five seasons, after finishing in the Champions League spots in each of Mauricio Pochettino’s final four full campaigns in charge (2015-16 - 2018-19).

• Erling Haaland’s opener was the first goal Manchester City have scored in the Premier League at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with what was their 79th shot at the venue. It was the Citizens’ first away league goal against Spurs since Riyad Mahrez netted at Wembley Stadium in October 2018.

• Kevin De Bruyne has assisted Erling Haaland 12 times in the Premier League since the beginning of last season - at least four more times than any other player has for a teammate in the competition.

• De Bruyne has now recorded 10+ assists in six different Premier League seasons, the joint-most times alongside Cesc Fabregas; the Belgian (112) also moved ahead of the Spaniard into outright second for most assists in the competition’s history, behind only Ryan Giggs (162).

Manchester City moved to within one win of a historic fourth successive Premier League title with victory at Tottenham.

Erling Haaland's second-half double settled a tight encounter in which Spurs' hopes of a top-four finish ended, and sent Aston Villa into the Champions League for the first time next season.

Pep Guardiola's reigning champions will now lift the crown again if they beat West Ham United at Etihad Stadium on Sunday (16:00 BST).

Raphael Varane was announced to Manchester United fans to some acclaim three years ago.

It was pre-match, before a 5-1 win at Leeds United, in a summer that also marked the arrival of Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo. It seemed United were ready to really push for the top.

But Varane, like United as a whole, failed to match the hype.

He clearly is a class player, but he did not look a good fit for the Premier League.

Varane is yet to start 60 league games across his three seasons and, while his partnership with Lisandro Martinez was the anchor of United's third-place finish last term, injury to both has robbed them of continuity and has played a significant role in the team's collapse.

United had already decided not to trigger the option of a one-year contract extension but, the reality is, the former Real Madrid man probably did not want to stay on either.

With a £34m fee and wages on top, United have spent about £85m on that deal. The reward has not been worth it.

While they will get no fee for Varane now, it does create a gap which will be handy in profit and sustainability terms.

In all likelihood, his replacement will probably not be a serial Champions League winner from one of the world's biggest clubs - so their salary will not be as high.

We asked for your thoughts on how big a loss Raphael Varane will be to Manchester United after the France defender confirmed he would leave the club at the end of the season.

He has made 93 appearances and lifted the 2023 Carabao Cup after arriving from Real Madrid in 2021.

Here are some of your responses:

Doug: Raphael Varane is arguably the best centre-half that United have - when fit. He is expensive, but it seems that United's decision not to keep him for another season indicates an unwillingness or inability to pay what it costs for a top player. United won't spend the money to find a replacement as good, so will end up with a weaker squad. No progress.

Dan: Overpriced and salary heavy. Distinctly average. Get rid.

Patrick: Too many injuries and huge wages. Great when he played but he was just not available enough. Seemed to come for a pay deal. He didn't seem vocal enough or help guide younger players through.

Paul: I think Varane has been a good signing for us. As we get older it’s always time to move on, so a good time for it. I’m sure he’s been a good example in training for our younger players too. Time for some of them to step forward now to replace him - Willy Kambwala, as an example.

Lee: Unfortunately, the perception and reality of Varane being in your team are worlds apart. On paper, what you have is a multiple Champions League winner. In reality, you have an injury-prone centre-half who, when fit, seems to command a place in the starting XI only to very quickly return to the injured list, upsetting balance and consistency.

Gareth: Varane is a fantastic professional and leader, and last season he was brilliant. However, with his injury record and ridiculous inconsistency of starts for the club this season, it doesn't allow for a cohesive defensive unit. We need someone young and fit to come in and make the role their own alongside Martinez [and Maguire for rotation].

Steve: Another Real Madrid cast off United have paid over the odds for. When will they learn that buying has-beens is bad business, regardless of their reputation?

There is ever-amplifying noise about Rasmus Hojlund and his credentials as Manchester United's striker.

Hojlund has now scored one goal in his last 10 games since returning from injury in March. But before his spell on the sidelines, the 21-year-old netted eight times in as many outings.

United signed Hojlund accepting that he was far from the complete package. The Dane didn't decide his £72m transfer fee, nor would he have preferred the circumstances he walked into.

Leading the line in one of United's worst-ever sides won't be easy. You simply have to watch the matches to see for yourself that his service is agonisingly limited.

And yet, when he gets chances, Hojlund boasts a better shot conversation rate in the league this season than an array of stars, including Mohamed Salah, Phil Foden and Ollie Watkins.

His 14 goals in all competitions is a greater tally than many world-class strikers when they were his age. It's time to cut him some slack and let him develop the way United expected.

However, the club needs to recruit some support this summer, something Anthony Martial - on his way out - has failed to provide, making a tough test even more difficult.

Were Manchester United right to cancel their end of season awards?

The awards were set to take place on 20 May but the club do not want any any distractions ahead of the FA Cup final against Manchester City five days later.

However, rather than postponing the event - which is usually a fundraiser for United's Foundation - it has been cancelled.

Former Arsenal striker Theo Walcott says it is disappointing for breakout players of the season, like Kobbie Mainoo, to not get the suitable recognition they deserve.

BBC pundit Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches again this season, against a variety of guests.

For Tuesday's crucial game in the title race between Tottenham and defending champions Manchester City, which was postponed from week 34 because of the FA Cup semi-finals, he takes on singer-songwriter and Arsenal fan Sam Tompkins.

Sutton's prediction: 1-3

City fans will point out that they have a poor record at Tottenham's new stadium, where they won in the FA Cup in January but have not scored in any of their four visits in the Premier League, despite having a total of 74 shots.

But I don't see any jeopardy for City here. They are too good for everyone, and they are just a machine when it comes to getting results when it matters.

If Arsenal were in their situation, going into the games City have this week, I'd be a lot less confident. You'd think 'well, you never know', but because City have been there and done it so many times before, I just don't see them slipping up. That's why I don't think anyone other than City fans are that excited about this game, or the title race.

I've seen enough of Ange Postecoglou's teams to know what Tottenham could do if they click, but they have been inconsistent recently and I don't sense they will be at their best here.

With what's at stake for City, and they way they have put their foot down in the past few weeks, I feel like they will always be in control of this game. I fancy them strongly to win, and it should be pretty comfortable.

Sam's prediction: 0-5

Erik ten Hag has spoken to the media before Manchester United's Premier League game against Newcastle.

Here are the main lines from his news conference:

• On injuries: "Licha Martinez will return in the squad. He's had some sessions with us and we plan for him to be available if everything goes right in training this afternoon. We have to see if Bruno (Fernandes), (Marcus) Rashford and Willy Kambwala are fit enough."

• On Rasmus Hojlund's form: "He has had three injuries this season but still he scored 14 goals. That's a very good record for a young player. When we decided to go for him we bought a player for this season and the future. He has to develop. He needs time. Sometimes it goes up and down. But he is a very strong character. I am more confident he's close."

• On Bruno Fernandes' future: "It's the same question as last week. In all the years he was a tremendously important player for Manchester United and created the most chances across the Premier League. It's clear he's a very important player for us."

• On facing Newcastle: "When you look at the ranking - Newcastle seventh, Man Utd eighth - it's very important to get the win. We have to fight hard for it."

• On fan reaction: "At Palace, they were magnificent. Maybe the expectations are lower but I don't want to say the mood, the vibe, they create is lower. They backed the team at Palace and (against Arsenal) last Sunday."

• On the likelihood of Raphael Varane featuring again for Manchester United before he leaves at the end of the season: "We are planning, definitely, for the last games. Not tomorrow but we hope for Sunday and then, of course, for the last game."

After scoring his fourth goal in five Premier League games, presenter Natalie Pike has been discussing in-form Josko Gvardiol on the We're Not Really Here podcast: "Everyone was so unbelievably excited when we signed Josko Gvardiol because you remembered him from the World Cup.

"He came with a big price tag and a lot of expectation and I think it probably took him about six months to settle in. He is well and truly settled in now."

BBC Radio Manchester commentator Mike Minay said: "You forget the price tag and that shows how good a player is.

"When Jack Grealish came to Manchester City that first season wasn't the Jack Grealish that we know now so everyone brings up the £100m in that first season. No one talks about that now because he has proved himself over the past two years.

"Josko Gvardiol is the second most expensive defender in Premier League history and no one is sat there saying he is a £72m Premier League defender. He is so good at defending, he reads the game really well and can do that central defender role, but it is his ability on the wing that makes him stand out."

Pike added: "We often say it and it is the repetitive thing of, it takes time under Pep Guardiola for a player to settle in. It wasn't that way for Haaland, but it was for so many of the key players that we have had like Rodri.

"But Gvardiol has had six months with Pep and his coaching team now and he has changed position as well. He was brought in as a centre-back but we have put him out really wide and really high at times.

"So I can't wait to see what he is going to be like. Can you imagine what he is going to be like in a year when he has had more time to work with Pep?"

"I'm wearing all Tottenham white right now," proclaimed former Arsenal winger Theo Walcott on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club.

"I expect Manchester City to win but also expect Tottenham to go out there and perform. Being at their home ground, they'll want to perform. You want to be in good habits and I think Postecoglou will get them in good habits for next year."

There is much talk about how Tottenham will approach Tuesday's game against the champions, knowing were they to lose, they'd severely dent the title hopes of their great rivals Arsenal.

Monday Night Club's Chris Sutton famously went to Anfield when playing for Blackburn on the final day of the 1994-95 season, when talk was rife that Liverpool would slacken off in order for Sutton's team to beat Manchester United to the title.

Liverpool won the game 2-1 but Blackburn still clinched the title as Manchester United were unable to win at West Ham.

Sutton said: "Everybody thought because of the rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester United, that Liverpool were going to chuck it basically. That was never going to be the case. We were really hoping they were going to chuck it, of course we were. But nobody wants to lose a game. You go out with the intention of winning. That will be the same for these Tottenham players.

"I get it as a Spurs supporter that they don't want Arsenal to win the league. It's a great game for a Tottenham fan as they go to the stadium and they can't lose in many respects - they end up beating City which is a feather in the cap and if they end up losing, Arsenal won't win the league."
