Manchester City spoil the Fulham adventure and close to winning the English Premier League
Manchester City spoiled the adventure of its host Fulham and won a big 3-0 victory over him on Saturday in the 28th stage of the English Football League, bringing Manchester City a new step closer to regaining the title of the competition.
Manchester City practically confirmed its restoration of its balance after its defeat against Manchester United at the beginning of last week, and the team achieved its second victory in a row to consolidate its lead in the competition table with 71 points, 17 points ahead of its neighbor, Manchester United.
Fulham's balance stuck at 26 points to keep the team in the eighteenth place in the region threatened by relegation, noting that the team played Saturday's match after a very valuable victory over defending champion Liverpool in their own home last week.
Manchester City extended its series of successive victories in the matches that it plays outside its stadium in various championships to 13 consecutive victories, noting that this series began on December 19, which is a record for the English Premier League teams as well.
The first half of today's match ended with a goalless draw, then Manchester City rose in the second half and scored three goals within the first quarter hour of the second half, to deliver a strong shock to Fulham.
Defender John Stones opened the game's goals in the 47th minute, then Brazilian Gabriel Jesus added the second goal in the 56th minute, before Argentine Sergio Aguero opened his goals with the team this season with a penalty kick in the 60th minute.
