LONDON - Manchester City maintained their 14-point lead at the top of the table with a 3-0 win away to relegation-threatened Fulham on Saturday night. Having also won against Southampton in midweek, it is business as usual for Pep Guardiola's men after last weekend's derby defeat to Manchester United.

Although the game was scoreless at the break, City rapidly imposed themselves in the second half with John Stones' fourth goal in 10 games putting them ahead just over a minute after the break.

Gabriel Jesus made it 2-0 just 10 minutes later following a defensive mix-up and Sergio Aguero added a third from the penalty spot as City were able to rest players such as Phil Foden and Kevin de Bruyne.

Craig Dawson's own goal gave Manchester United a 1-0 win at home to West Ham on Sunday evening, and although the manner of the winning goal may have been fortunate as Dawson headed into his own net, the win was deserved as United dominated and hit the West Ham woodwork twice, while the visitors failed to produce a shot on target.

The Gunners had hit the woodwork twice through Emile Smith Rowe and Cedric Soares before Eric Lamela scored a spectacular 'rabona' in the 33rd minute, but Martin Odegaard drew Arsenal level before the break.

Alexandre Lacazette won the game with a penalty after he had been fouled by Davinson Sanchez and Tottenham had to play the last 15 minutes with 10 men after Lamela was sent off after seeing a second yellow card.
