Manchester City maintained their relentless pursuit of the Premier League title with a commanding 3-0 victory over Fulham, spearheaded by a prolific first-half display at the Etihad Stadium.

The Premier League encounter on February 11, 2026, saw second-placed Manchester City host a Fulham side eager to improve their mid-table position. City, with 47 points from 24 games, aimed to continue their formidable home record against a Fulham team currently tenth.

The home side wasted little time asserting their dominance. Antoine Semenyo broke the deadlock in the 24th minute, drilling a precise shot past the Fulham goalkeeper. His early strike set the tone for City’s relentless attack.

Just six minutes later, Manchester City doubled their lead. Semenyo turned provider, assisting Nico O’Reilly who slotted the ball home confidently in the 30th minute. Fulham’s struggles grew as Joachim Andersen received a yellow card a minute later for a cynical foul.

Erling Haaland then joined the goalfest, extending City’s advantage just before half-time. Phil Foden delivered a perfectly weighted assist, allowing Haaland to guide his finish past the keeper in the 39th minute. Bernardo Silva earned a yellow card for tripping in the 41st minute.

Entering the second half with a three-goal cushion, Manchester City sought to control the pace. Fulham, meanwhile, needed a dramatic shift in momentum to salvage anything from the match, but their offensive efforts remained muted.

Pep Guardiola made an early second-half change, bringing off goal scorer Erling Haaland for Omar Marmoush in the 46th minute. Further substitutions followed around the hour mark as both teams refreshed their lineups.

Despite the lack of further goals, the second half saw a more physical contest. Phil Foden picked up a yellow card in the 66th minute for tripping. City brought on Rayan Cherki and Nico for Foden and Rodri in the 71st minute to maintain control.

Fulham introduced several players, including Harry Wilson and Harrison Reed, hoping for a late surge. However, Manchester City’s defence remained resolute. Late yellow cards for City’s Nico and manager Pep Guardiola added a touch of drama to an otherwise settled game.

Manchester City’s statistical superiority was clear, with an expected goals (xG) tally of 1.47 compared to Fulham’s 1.04. City registered 13 total shots, with five on target, while maintaining 56% possession. Fulham managed 12 shots, with three on target.

This victory reinforces Manchester City’s title credentials, moving them closer to the top spot. Fulham’s defeat extends their poor record against City, as they continue to struggle against the league’s elite. Antoine Semenyo earned player of the match with his goal and assist.
