Manchester City hit the top of the Premier League with one week of the season left as two goals by Josko Gvardiol and one each from Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez sealed an emphatic 4-0 victory at Fulham fc.
City’s stroll in the London sunshine, their seventh successive league win and 16th consecutive victory over Fulham in all competitions, moved them two points clear of Arsenal.
Pep Guardiola’s relentless side, closing in on an unprecedented fourth English title in a row, have 85 points from 36 games, with Arsenal on 83 having also played 36.
Arsenal can regain top spot by beating Manchester United on Sunday but City, who play their game in hand at Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday, are two wins away from making history.

PENALTY! Fulham 0-3 Manchester City
94 mins: Fulham are barely bothering to press as the game nears its end, and City win a penalty from nowhere!

92 mins: Gvardiol, fresh off being awarded the player of the match award, plays a lovely diagonal to Lewis. The ball is worked back to Gvardiol, and despite the away fans willing him to shoot, he lays it off to Doku. The Belgian’s inviting cross isn’t met by any City player though.
