EPL: Man City thrash Fulham 3-0 to close gap on Arsenal

Manchester City defeated Fulham 3-0, narrowing the points gap with Premier League leaders Arsenal.

In a commanding performance, Manchester City cruised to a 3-0 victory over Fulham in their recent Premier League clash, effectively reducing Arsenal's lead at the top of the table to just three points. The goals came thick and fast in the first half, with Antoine Semenyo, Nico O’Reilly, and Erling Haaland finding the back of the net in a rapid 15-minute spell, marking City's 20th consecutive win over Fulham across all competitions.

Pep Guardiola's side has been grappling with inconsistent performances in the second half of games, but they managed to secure the win comfortably by half-time. This display of offensive firepower was bolstered by the January signings of Semenyo and Marc Guehi, who have both contributed significantly to the team's recent resurgence in form. City's previous match against Liverpool, where they staged a dramatic comeback to emerge victorious, provided the necessary momentum going into the Fulham game.

These developments set the stage for an exciting title race, as Arsenal also faces a challenging match against in-form Brentford. With City breathing down their necks, the pressure mounts on Arsenal to maintain their lead and secure their first league title in 22 years, while City looks to capitalize on any slip-ups from their rivals.
