On the evening of May 11, Beijing time, in the penultimate round of the Premier League, Manchester City played against Fulham, I believe that many Arsenal fans are pinning their hopes on Fulham to drag the opponent, but they were disappointed, and finally Manchester City defeated the opponent 4-0 and beat Fulham twice this season.
Fulham focused on Haaland, who had just scored a quadruple against Wolves a few days ago, and Fulham were unlikely to let him get what he wanted. However, Fulham focused on Haaland, but he didn't expect that Haaland was not the only one who could score goals in Manchester City.
In the 13th minute of the first half, Gvardiol cut forward to receive the ball and then cut inside past the home defender, and in the box he suddenly fired a counter-shot into the near corner to give City a 1-0 lead. In this attack, Gvardiol cut inside like a winger and scored, turning Fulham's defence upside down.
After breaking the deadlock, City continued to attack, but they did not change the score until the 58th minute. Bernardo Silva broke through and was brought down, and the ball got to Foden, who immediately swept the ball into the corner and made it 2-0.
A few minutes later, De Bruyne delivered a clever pass and Haaland headed the goalkeeper but fired wide. In the 71st minute, the score changed again, Bernardo Silva played a long pass to the back post, Gvardiol stepped forward, and finally kicked the ball into the goal from close range, this goal also killed the suspense of the victory. Before the end of the game, Alvarez scored a penalty to make it 4-0.
In this game, Gvardiol's performance was absolutely astonishing, and he seemed to have developed his attacking talent after scoring against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Combined with the 2 goals in this game, Gvardiol has scored 5 goals in less than 1 month, and as a defender, his goal efficiency is terrifying.
This 4-0 victory is likely to rewrite the fate of Manchester City and Arsenal, and now after Manchester City gets three points, in the same number of games, Manchester City has surpassed Arsenal by 2 points and risen to the top of the Premier League. In this round, Arsenal will play against Manchester United as a guest, and once Arsenal does not win, then there is no suspense for Manchester City to win the title.
In fact, Manchester City now have the complete initiative. Even if Arsenal beat Manchester United away, Manchester City don't have to worry. As long as Manchester City can beat Tottenham (away) and West Ham (at home) in the last two games, winning all two games and taking six points, then Manchester City will definitely win the title. In the previous three seasons, Manchester City had won three consecutive titles, and if they won the title again this year, they would create an unprecedented four consecutive titles. They are only 2 wins away from this miracle. I wonder if Tottenham and West Ham can stop Manchester City?
