"Manchester City were set to pile the pressure on Arsenal in the Premier League title race as Antoine Semenyo continued his excellent form against Fulham with a dominant first-half performance against the Cottagers. City went into Wednesday's clash knowing they could cut the gap to leaders Arsenal to three points ahead of the Gunners' trip to Brentford on Thursday. The hosts had previously won their last 19 meetings with Fulham in all competitions, the longest winning run one side has had against another in English football history."
"The Ghana international had already scored five goals against Fulham in his Premier League career with Bournemouth, and he broke the deadlock with his sixth as he prodded home a 24th-minute opener. Semenyo then gave Fulham a mountain to climb as he laid on the assist at the end of a free-flowing City move to make it 2-0, Nico O'Reilly doubling the lead with a superb lofted finish over Bernd Leno."
