Man City makes crucial step towards the title with dominant win

Josko Gvardiol’s brace helped Manchester City to get a crucial victory against Fulham, putting them two points clear at the top of the Premier League table, adding more pressure on Arsenal in the title race.

Gvardiol broke the deadlock early on with a clinical finish after a well-crafted move that left Fulham’s defense no chance to react.

After the break, Phil Foden extended City’s lead with a first-time strike past Bernd Leno, showcasing his stellar form this season.

Later on, despite Erling Haaland squandering a golden opportunity to add a third goal, Gvardiol found the back of the net again, sealing the result for Manchester City with a composed finish at the far post.
