Man City seal Champions League spot with win over Fulham on final day of season

The Citizens were battling to secure UEFA Champions League football next season and needed a win to nail down the tickets. 

They were third on the EPL table, having 68 points, with just two points separating them and the other teams battling for the spot.

Guardiola's team defeated Fulham 2-0 at the Craven Cottage, ending the season in third place and booked a place in next season's UCL.

Fulham remained without the injured quartet of Harrison Reed, Timothy Castagne, Rodrigo Muniz and Reiss Nelson. Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey started the final game of the season from the bench.

Rodri made his comeback from an ACL injury as a substitute during Tuesday's win over Bournemouth, but manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed the midfielder will not start at Craven Cottage.

Man City were quick to get the game started, with the first goal coming in the first 20 minutes from Ilkay Gundogan, which they took to halftime.

In the second half, Erling Haaland scored the second goal for City to double their lead.

The Citizens were comfortable until the final whistle, with the win qualifying Guardiola's side for the Champions League despite their poor campaign.
