Man City make English football history against Fulham as two more incredible records broken

Man City make English football history against Fulham as two more incredible records broken

City beat Fulham 4-0 at Craven Cottage to take them one step closer to the Premier League title.

Manchester City have broken two more records against Fulham as they continue their relentless pursuit towards a fourth consecutive Premier League title.

Pep Guardiola's side went into the clash at Craven Cottage knowing that a win would put them two points clear at the top of the Premier League table, ahead of Arsenal, with two games to play.

And they did their job to perfection, with an unlikely brace from left-back Josko Gvardiol accompanied by Phil Foden's second half finish and Julian Alvarez's stoppage time penalty.

Gvardiol could have had a hat-trick with the penalty, but Argentina forward Alvarez stepped up instead before smashing the ball beyond Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

Should City go on to win the Premier League title, it will have been another remarkable second half of the season.

Guardiola's side have been unbeaten in the league since a 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa on December 6.

By beating Fulham 4-0, City recorded their 16th consecutive victory against the Cottagers in all competitions - making it the single longest winning run any team has had against another in English football history.

Ironically, they actually broke their own record in that department, as they also have 15-game winning runs against Bournemouth and Watford.

In addition, City also made it 16 games in a row (as per Squawka) that they have scored in away matches at Craven Cottage - the most against a single opponent away from home in Premier League history.

Manchester United previously held that record, having scored in 15 consecutive matches against Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium.

In terms of the Premier League title race, Arsenal must now hope that City drop points to either Tottenham or West Ham, with the Gunners winning both of their remaining games, for them to lift the trophy for the first time since 2004.
