The Manchester City of the Spanish coach Pep Guardiola has added an important victory that allows him to dream of winning the Premier League this season, after several moments of ups and downs in which he came to be 8 points behind the current leader, the Arsenal.
The new victim of Los Ciudadanos has been Fulham in a game that began by winning as an away player with a penalty goal in the 3rd minute scored by the Norwegian Erling Haaland. The local team was not far behind and in minute 15 managed to equalize the actions.
However, with a cool head, City took on the challenge and in the first half itself, specifically in minute 36, ‘La Araña’, the Argentine Julián Álvarez scored the goal to put his team on top, which, although they tried to increase the advantage in the second half, did not move the marker again.
Now, Haaland and company’s team has looked more solid and thanks to a string of five consecutive victories they have beaten The Gunners by one point, but with one game less.
Manchester City’s next game will be on Wednesday May 3 against West Ham. Then, on Saturday the 6th, they will face Leeds, in a game that, in addition to being key to winning the local title, will serve as a thermometer for what will be the first leg of the Champions League semifinal against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu, which will It will take place on May 9.
