Manchester City Retakes Top Spot in Premier League
Haaland's Second-Half Goal Secures Victory
Manchester City temporarily reclaimed the top spot in the Premier League after a hard-fought victory over Fulham. Erling Haaland's second-half goal proved to be the match-winner, bringing Manchester City level on points with Arsenal, who have a game in hand.
The match was played at the Etihad Stadium, and Manchester City dominated possession from the start. However, they struggled to break down a resolute Fulham defense in the first half. Haaland had a goal ruled out for offside, and other chances went begging.
After the break, Manchester City continued to press, and they finally made the breakthrough in the 57th minute. Haaland latched onto a cross from Kevin De Bruyne and headed home from close range. It was the Norwegian's 26th Premier League goal of the season, and it proved to be enough to secure all three points.
This win keeps Manchester City in the title race, and it puts pressure on Arsenal, who now must win their game in hand to stay top of the table.
