Manchester City seized control of the Premier League title race with a 1-0 victory over rivals Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium. The only goal of the match came in the 65th minute when Erling Haaland converted a low cross from Kevin De Bruyne, who had been found by a precise pass from Nathan Aké.
The result ends Arsenal's eight-match unbeaten run in the league and moves City two points clear at the top of the table with six games remaining. Arsenal, who had led the standings for much of the season, now sit in second place.
In the day's other key fixture, Liverpool returned to winning ways with a 3-1 victory over Fulham at Anfield. Goals from Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ryan Gravenberch, and Diogo Jota secured the three points, keeping Liverpool level on points with Arsenal but behind on goal difference.
The title race remains intensely close, with Manchester City now the favorites to win a record fourth consecutive English top-flight title.
