Manchester City PL reclaims lead for the first time in history to win 4 consecutive games

Manchester City, which had been chasing Arsenal, the top team in the league, by one point, beat Fulham and succeeded in recapturing the league lead. Now, it is the first time in history that the league has lost four consecutive games.

Manchester City defeated Fulham 4-0 in the 37th round of the 2023-24 Premier League held at Craven Cottage in London, England at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday (Korea time). With the win, Manchester City scored 85 points, beating Arsenal by two points and successfully regaining No. 1 spot in the league. Fulham ranks 13th with 44 points in the league.

Manchester City had two challenges in this match. One was three points needed to catch up with Arsenal, who were at the top of the league by one point. Up until the previous match, Arsenal held the top spot in the league with 36 matches with 26 wins, five draws, and five losses, with 83 points, while Manchester City was closely trailing Arsenal with 25 wins, seven draws, and three losses in 35 matches with 82 points.

Another victory was the multiple-goal victory. If Manchester City wins all of its remaining matches, including this one, it will have a point advantage over Arsenal and can clinch the win. However, if the result of the remaining matches requires a goal difference, Arsenal will have a win by a margin of victory. Manchester City closed the gap with Arsenal by six goals with a 5-1 victory over Wolverhampton. With four goals added in the latest match, Manchester City is now only two goals apart.

This match was one-sided by Manchester City. Having been pushing Fulham from the beginning of the match, Manchester City scored the first goal in the 13th minute of the first half thanks to Gvardiol's bold participation in the attack. The same pattern continued in the second half, and Foden's goal and Gvardiol's additional goal were added to bring the team closer to victory. After getting a penalty kick for Fulham's foul in the second half, Manchester City scored multiple points as well as three points, which was the task of this match, thanks to Álvarez's decisive goal.

Manchester City is slightly ahead of Arsenal in the championship race, but the remaining schedule is not easy. Manchester City is ranked No. 1 in the league by capturing Fulham in this match, but Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham are the opponents of the remaining two games.

Especially for Manchester City, Tottenham is always a difficult opponent. Manchester City has a memory of a 3-3 draw after a fierce battle in the game that brought Tottenham home this season. This time, it is expected to be a very important game in the competition for the championship because it has to leave for Tottenham.

Meanwhile, it is not easy for rival Arsenal as they still have matches against Manchester United and Everton. News of the return to training for Bruno Fernandes and Lisandro Martinez, Manchester United's main players who have been plagued by recent injuries, will be onerous for Arsenal.

Attention is focusing on whether Manchester City, which recently failed to advance to the semifinals against Real Madrid in the UCL quarterfinals, will be able to achieve a double by winning the FA Cup and the league this season. In particular, if it succeeds in winning the league this season, it can achieve the milestone of winning for the first four consecutive seasons in the history of the Premier League.
