Big win, Man City climbs to second place in Premier League

Man City's strikers were stuck for most of the match. But just one moment of mistake from Hull City changed the wind.

The win over Arsenal last week seemed to have boosted the morale of the Man City players. In addition, playing against the bottom-placed Hull City made the Citizens fans even more confident about a win on Boxing Day. However, the reality on the field showed that Pep Guardiola's players had to work very hard to achieve the goal of earning all 3 points.

Young striker Iheanacho increased the score to 2-0.

Right after the opening whistle, the away players rushed to attack. In the 7th minute, Yaya Toure launched a dangerous free kick. However, the opposing goalkeeper played focused and successfully blocked it.

In the 39th minute, Nolito made a dangerous cross into the penalty area. However, a Hull City defender promptly cleared the ball for a corner kick.

In the second half, Pep's team still held the initiative. They used the speed on both flanks and the superb technique of Kevin De Bruyne.

In the 53rd minute, starting from a dribble on the left wing, the Belgian midfielder dribbled past an orange-shirted figure and fired a decisive shot into the near corner from a distance of 20 meters. The ball flew low and hit the post. Obviously, luck did not smile on Bruyne in this situation.

In the 67th minute, David Silva made a smart pass for Bruyne to run up and finish. However, once again, he failed to finish.

In the 72nd minute, Andrew Robertson fouled a Man City player in the penalty area. The referee immediately pointed to the penalty spot. Of course, Yaya Toure did not miss the golden opportunity. He easily fooled goalkeeper David Marshall, opening the score for the match.

Six minutes later, Spanish midfielder Silva crossed for substitute striker Kelechi Iheanacho to double the lead. It was clear that after the first goal, Hull's players were down. They were no longer as focused in defense as before. The goals were inevitable.

In the final minute of play, after a cross from a visiting player, Curtis Davies clumsily sent the ball into his own net, ending a sad night for Hull City fans.

On the contrary, the 3 points earned today help Pep's team continue to chase Chelsea on the Premier League rankings with a 7-point gap.

Final: 0-3
