Man City ease past Fulham to move within three points of leaders ArsenalBy Andy Hampson, Press AssociationErling Haaland moved joint-fourth on Manchester City’s all-time scorers list as Pep Guardiola’s side overpowered Fulham 3-0 to turn up the heat on Arsenal. Haaland netted his 153rd City goal, moving him level with Colin Bell, in a comfortable victory at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday that trimmed the Gunners’ Premier League lead to three points. Fulham were as compliant as City could have wished for and repeatedly gave the ball away to allow the hosts to keep attacking.

City eased off after the break and Fulham tried to rally but a lively burst by Wilson came to nothing.
