Man City sink Fulham as they go top of the log and are now an inch closer to the fourth league title in a row
Pep Guardiola’s side are two wins away from lifting an unprecedented fourth successive English title after a commanding display at Craven Cottage.
Gvardiol put City ahead early on before Phil Foden’s 25th goal in all competitions this season increased their lead.
By the time Gvardiol netted his second, City were strolling to three priceless points on a sunlit afternoon on the banks of the River Thames.
Julian Alvarez underlined City’s superiority with a late penalty after Fulham’s Issa Diop was sent off for fouling the Argentine.
City have become the first side in English football to beat an opponent in 16 successive matches.
It’s a run Fulham will be desperate to end.
The last time Fulham avoided defeat against City was in a 2-2 home draw in September 2011 and that required a late Vincent Kompany own goal.
If Arsenal fail to win at Manchester United on Sunday, City can wrap up the league with a win at Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday.
