MANCHESTER CITY moved to the top of the Premier League for the first time since February 17 today after beating Fulham 2-1 in front of 24,498 fans at an atmospheric Craven Cottage. 

Pep Guardiola’s side capped a memorable week to post their eighth league win on the bounce as they eased past the Cottagers on the banks of the Thames. 

The visitors went ahead in under 180 seconds.
