The Skyblues reach the goal. After their big victory in the clash for the title against Arsenal last Wednesday (4-1), Manchester City won against Fulham this Sunday (1-2) thanks to goals from Haaland and Julian Alvarez. Pep Guardiola’s men temporarily take the lead in the Premier League with a one-point lead over the Gunners, who are not playing this weekend.
Very expeditious, the inevitable Erling Haaland opened the scoring from the penalty spot (2nd), thus scoring his 34th goal in the Premier League and his 50th in all competitions. He thus became the first player playing in the Premier League to have passed this remarkable bar in one season since 1931. He also joined Alan Shearer and Andy Cole who had also scored 34 goals in one edition.
But if the Norwegian obviously still attracted all eyes with his two new broken records, it was indeed Julian Alvarez who shone this afternoon. After Vinicius equalized a quarter of an hour into the game (15th), the Argentinian released his team on a 25m cannonball, unstoppable for Leno (36th). Only four days before the end of the championship, the Cityzens, who are still two games behind, are approaching a third consecutive title. Arsenal will play their match of this 34th day on Tuesday against Chelsea (9 p.m.).
