London: Manchester City asserted their dominance in the Premier League title race with a commanding 4-0 victory over Fulham, propelling themselves to the top of the standings with just one week left in the season.
In a dazzling display of skill and efficiency at Craven Cottage, Josko Gvardiol stole the show with a clinical brace, while Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez also found the back of the net to secure an emphatic win for the reigning champions.
This triumph marked Manchester City’s seventh consecutive league victory, further solidifying their grip on the top spot. The win also extended their remarkable winning streak against Fulham to 16 consecutive victories across all competitions.
With 85 points accumulated from 36 matches, Pep Guardiola’s side now sits two points clear of closest rivals Arsenal, who have amassed 83 points from the same number of games. While Arsenal has the chance to reclaim the summit by defeating Manchester United on Sunday, Manchester City remains firmly within reach of making history.
