FULHAM 0-4 MANCHESTER CITY: Pep Guardiola's side move past Arsenal to the top of the Premier League table with typically controlled and professional victory at Craven Cottage
Manchester City showed no sign of nerves as they brushed aside Fulham to leapfrog Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table and take command of the title race.
Bernardo Silva had a shot saved by Leno before Fulham finally threatened the goal in the 57th minute when Rodrigo Muniz flicked Adama Traore's cross towards goal. But it was game over soon after when Phil Foden fired a loose ball into the bottom corner off the inside of the post. Gvardiol then continued his remarkable scoring streak by adding another from Silva's deep cross from a short corner, sparking raucous celebrations from the away end.
With Rodri and Mateo Kovacic directing traffic, they knocked the ball around effortlessly and monotonously, like a magician sending his mark to sleep through hypnosis. Once Gvardiol’s goal hit the back of the net, thousands of Arsenal fans turned off, their hope having disappeared. Fulham didn't even muster an effort on goal in the first half.
Foden’s on fire Twenty-five goals this season. Twelve in his last 12 Premier League matches. Foden is on fire and looks absolutely unstoppable right now. The City playmaker has enjoyed by far the best season of his young career and Pep Guardiola deserves credit for the way he has nurtured him. Sharing the burden Josko Gvardiol was not signed as a goalscorer. The Croatia international cost £77.6million from RB Leipzig last summer and took a fair while to get up to speed at his new club. Plenty of observers were surprised to see him settle at left-back, but it has proven yet another masterstroke from Guardiola.
