EPL: Man City go top after 2-1 win at Fulham

Erling Haaland bagged his 50th goal of the season from a spot-kick three minutes into the match to give City the lead.
City’s celebration was, however, cut short following Carlos Vinicius’ equalizer in the 15th minute.
Julian Alvarez put the visitors back in front with a stunning shot outside the box in the 36th minute.
Alvarez’s 15th strike of the season makes him Man City’s second-highest goalscorer after the Norweigan center forward.
