Reactions as Man City see off Fulham to leapfrog Arsenal in Premier League title race

Manchester City sealed a 2-1 win against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon, April 30, 2023, in the Premier League.

The defending champions continued from where they left off in mid-week with Erling Haaland blasting home a penalty in the 3rd minute to give the visitors a dream start.

However, 12 minutes later, the hosts roared back into the contest as Carlos Vinicius fired home for Fulham to level matters and send the Craven Cottage fans into jubilation mood.

City as expected, responded by creating tons of chances and soon found the back of the net to take the lead once more as Julian Alvarez unleashed a spectacular strike in the 36th minute to put Guardiola's men in front once more.

Alvarez's strike proved to be the difference between both sides at full-time as the second half failed to produce any goals with Bernd Leno putting up an impressive shift for the hosts to prevent any embarrassment on Sunday afternoon.

The win for Man City now sees the move one point ahead of Arsenal in the Premier League title race with the Gunners set to play Chelsea on Tuesday, March 2, in a crucial London derby clash.

Arsenal will return to the top of the summit should they pick up all three points.

Following Man City's crucial win against Fulham on Sunday afternoon in the Premier League title race, fans have heaped praise on one City player - Julian  Alvarez, as the World Cup winner scored the winner to ensure Pep Guardiola's men ran out with all three points.
