Gvardiol put City ahead early on before Phil Foden’s 25th goal in all competitions this season increased their lead. If Arsenal fail to win at Old Trafford, City will be crowned champions if they beat Tottenham on Tuesday or West Ham in their final game on May 19. They rose to his challenge in style and will head to Tottenham next week boasting a 21-game unbeaten league run, having also trimmed Arsenal’s goal difference advantage over them to just two.

The Croatian defender took two deft touches as he glided through the Fulham defence before planting a composed low finish past Bernd Leno for his fourth goal in his last seven appearances. But City took complete control in the 59th minute as Silva accelerated into the area, his progress halted by Joao Palhinha’s tackle, only for the alert Foden to pounce with a perfectly-placed strike into the far corner.However, City struck again in the 71st minute as Gvardiol stretched to turn in Silva’s cross with an agile close-range finish.

Nigeria’s sports development suffered a major derailment between 2004 and 2006. That situation sustains till now, unfortunately.
