Sinjemodri so si v prvem polčasu ustvarili malo morje priložnosti in bi lahko že ob polčasu odločili zmagovalca. Zadeli so “le” dvakrat, pri obej golih pa sta lepo sodelovala Sergio Agüero in Bernardo Silva.

Mrežo domačih je City načel že v 5. minuti, ko je Argentinec podal Silvi, 22 minut kasneje pa mu je Portugalec vrnil uslugo in mu namestil žogo za (končnih) 0:2.

12 – Fulham are the first English top-flight side to concede at least twice in 12 consecutive league games since Newcastle between May-October 1977 (14 games). Consistency. #FULMCI

Mreži sta v drugem polčasu mirovali, sicer pa so nogometaši Citya zmago posvetili nedavno preminulemu Bernardu Halfordu, ki je klub dolga leta vodil kot predsednik.

? @BernardoCSilva: "This win was for Bernard Halford.

"Everyone was very sad at the news. He was a very important person for the Club and the fans and this win was for him.

"It's three more points. We're very happy. Onto the next one."#FULMCI ? #mancity pic.twitter.com/euKJEHzHer

City vodi s 77 točkami, sicer ga utegne jutri Liverpool, po domači tekmi s Tottenhamom, prehiteti, toda redsi (trenutno 76 točk) bodo imeli tekmo več. Fulham najverjetneje čaka ponovna selitev v Championship, kamor bo šel zagotovo tudi Huddersfield.

36 – Since the start of the 2011-12 season, Sergio Aguero has been involved in more Premier League goals against newly-promoted teams than any other player (36 – 29 goals, 7 assists). Bully. #FULMCI pic.twitter.com/Jphq0mWLz6
