Man City 3-0 Fulham: Semenyo matches De Bruyne milestone as Citizens pile pressure on Arsenal

Manchester City claimed a 3-0 victory over Fulham in the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening.

The Cityzens have now won their last 20 games against the Cottagers across all competitions.

Antoine Semenyo opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, as the ball broke nicely to the Ghanaian and he guided the ball past the onrushing Bernd Leno.

Semenyo is now the first City player to score in his first two league home games, since Kevin De bruyne did the same in 2015.

City made it 2-0 on the half-hour mark as Semenyo slipped in Nico O’Reilly, who picked out the far corner with a brilliant chip.

Erling Haaland added a third in the 38th minute, cutting onto his left to slot into the bottom corner.

Fulham almost pulled one back when Raul Jimenez played Emile Smith Rowe through on goal, but he failed to connect cleanly with the ball with an open goal in front of him.

The visitors started the second-half brighter, with Smith Rowe racing behind to force Gianluigi Donnarumma to make a save.

Jimenez then headed wide from Ryan Sessegnon’s cross as Fulham continued to crank up the pressure.

Fulham were on the attack again in the 69th minute when Rodrigo Munoz shot towards goal, but Donnarumma was equal to the task.

Despite the Cottagers’ improvement, City held on to their three-goal cushion to claim the victory, cutting Arsenal’s advantage at the top of the table to three points.
