Manchester City reclaimed the top spot in the Premier League by defeating Fulham at a sunny Craven Cottage. Full-back Josko Gvardiol netted twice, sandwiching midfielder Phil Foden’s second-half goal. Julián Álvarez added a fourth from the penalty spot to secure the win. Gvardiol, named man of the match, declined the opportunity to attempt a penalty, maintaining the designated penalty taker’s role, stating, “I would have liked to take it, but we know who the penalty taker is.”
