City defeated Fulham on Sunday to go above Arsenal by a point, with a game in hand
table after a hard-fought 2-1 away win over Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday.
Pep Guardiola named a side shorn of both Kevin de Bruyne and Bernardo Silva, who had performed admirably in the 4-1 over Arsenal and in came both Alvarez and Riyad Mahrez. But Fulham stunned City with an unlikely equaliser in the 15th minute. Andreas Pereira played a long ball into the box, and Harry Wilson, who had made a run across the blind side ofnodded down the ball into the path of Carlos Vinicius, who controlled and smashed his shot past Ederson.
But City took the lead in the 36th minute. After receiving a pass from Mahrez, Alvarez did well to protect and pirouette away from a lunging Palhinha before producing an outrageous effort into the corner of the net.
