Manchester City increased the pressure on Premier League leaders Arsenal with a 3-0 win against Fulham on Wednesday, closing the difference to three points.

Pep Guardiola has explored remedies to his team’s second-half slumps, which have lost them crucial points in the title fight.

But City had the job done by half-time as three goals in 15 first-half minutes from Antoine Semenyo, Nico O’Reilly and Erling Haaland secured a 20th consecutive win over Fulham in all competitions.

Arsenal can stretch their lead back to six points when they visit in-form Brentford on Thursday.

But the Gunners’ advantage has reduced from nine points to three in four days to give City hope of denying them a first league title in 22 years.

City had to build on the momentum of a dramatic late fightback to beat Liverpool 2-1 for a rare win at Anfield on Sunday.
