Manchester City cruised to a comfortable 3-0 victory over Fulham on Wednesday, fueled by a goal and an assist from Antoine Semenyo, narrowing the gap behind Premier League leaders Arsenal to three points.

The win sees Manchester City sitting in second place with 53 points from 26 matches. Arsenal currently leads the league with 56 points, with a game in hand against Brentford on Thursday.

Fulham remains in 12th place with 34 points, also from 26 games.

City established their dominance early, scoring all three goals in the first half. Semenyo capitalized on a defensive error to open the scoring for the home side. He then turned provider, setting up Nico O'Reilly for City's second goal.

Erling Haaland added a third goal, further solidifying his lead in the Golden Boot race with his 22nd goal of the season. While City threatened a rout after a dominant first half, the second half saw a significant drop in tempo, with only one shot on target from either side.
