Manchester City's title ambitions are alive and kicking! Pep Guardiola's men delivered a statement win, dominating Fulham 3-0, with Semenyo, O'Reilly, and the prolific Haaland on target.
After a brief dip in form, City have bounced back with a vengeance. A run of three wins in four games has propelled them back into the title conversation, with only a 2-2 draw at Tottenham marring an otherwise perfect recent record.
The Etihad Stadium has become a fortress, with City now boasting an impressive 12-game unbeaten home streak. This latest victory takes their home points tally to 47 out of a possible 54, a crucial factor in any title-winning campaign.
New signing Semenyo has been a revelation since his £62.5 million move, seamlessly slotting into the team. His goal and assist against Fulham took his league contributions to an impressive 17 this season.
Haaland, the Norwegian goal machine, was also on the scoresheet, netting his 22nd league goal of the season and his eighth against Fulham. Guardiola's decision to rest him after the break speaks volumes about City's dominance.
However, it wasn't all positive for City. Foden, a bright spark in recent games, couldn't find the net, extending his goal drought to 14 games. But here's where it gets controversial: was Guardiola right to bench Foden at Anfield? The young Englishman's recent form suggests he could have made a difference.
City's midweek form is another talking point. They remain unbeaten in 56 midweek games, a record dating back to 2010. But is this a crucial factor in the title race, or a mere statistic?
The Citizens' performance against Fulham was a clear indication of their title credentials. But will they maintain this form until the end of the season? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
