Manchester City is really putting the pressure on Arsenal, the Premier League leaders, after a convincing 3-0 win over Fulham. The Cityzens are now just three points behind Arsenal, thanks to Antoine Semenyo's goal, Nico O'Reilly's strike, and Erling Haaland's 22nd league goal of the season.

City's dominance was evident from the start, with Phil Foden creating chances early on. Their unbeaten streak in midweek Premier League games continues, with 47 wins and 8 draws in their last 55 matches. This win also marks their 20th consecutive victory over Fulham across all competitions.

The hosts continued to threaten as the first half progressed, and their pressure was duly rewarded in the 24th minute when a poor defensive header from Sander Berge allowed Antoine Semenyo to clinically convert his 13th league goal of the season.

Fulham went close to an immediate response, with Harry Wilson seeing a low effort thwarted by Gianluigi Donnarumma, and that save proved to be crucial as City doubled their lead on the half-hour mark.

Antoine Semenyo's brilliant pass set up Nico O'Reilly for a perfect finish beyond Bernd Leno, showcasing exceptional teamwork. Manchester City's momentum continued, and Erling Haaland scored a third goal before halftime with his trademark shot from outside the box.

Semenyo's involvement was crucial, delivering an inch-perfect ball to O'Reilly, who expertly finished the chance. Haaland's finish was a testament to City's attacking prowess, sweeping the ball into the bottom corner.

Fulham tried to mount a comeback in the second half after failing to capitalize on early chances, but Manchester City remained comfortable with their 3-0 lead. Pep Guardiola used the opportunity to rotate some key players, keeping them fresh for the next match.
