MANCHESTER City cruised back to the top of the Premier League as they condemned strugglers Fulham to their eighth consecutive defeat. Pep Guardiola's side quickly established their superiority in the west London sunshine, with Bernardo Silva's 20-yard drive finding the bottom left corner inside five minutes. City, who had 10 shots in the first 15 minutes, added their sec- ond when Sergio Aguero sub- limely lifted the ball over home goalkeeper Sergio Rico from close range. Some woeful defending from Fulham - who have now con- ceded 72 goals, the worst record in the top flight - contributed to both goals, with Timothy Fosu- Mensah and Joe Bryan both guilty of gifting the ball to City near their own goal. Scott Parker's side also strug- gled to make an impression at the other end of the pitch and failed to register a shot on target. City, who are chasing an un- precedented quadruple, move one point above Liverpool, who host Tottenham today (5.30pm kick-off). The Cottagers stay second bot- tom, 13 points from safety with six league games remaining. Aguero's key contribution By the time Aguero was substi- tuted in the 57th minute Man- chester City were well on their way to a seventh consecutive Premier League victory. And the 30-year-old, who is the division's top scorer with 19 goals, played as decisive role as usual in the final third. He may have only managed 22 touches, but one of his first was seizing on to Fosu-Mensah's mistake to assist Silva's opening goal. Silva then repaid the favour to provide the Argentina forward the chance to continue his own rich vein of form - and Aguero delivered his 14th goal in his past 14 appearances. His darting run gave him the time to execute the deftest of finishes as Rico closed in to nar- row an already tight angle. It was Aguero's only shot on target but it brought him his fourth goal in seven Premier League starts against Fulham. It also underlined his prowess against sides that come up from the Championship. Since his arrival in England from Atletico Madrid in 2011, no player has been involved in more Premier League goals against newly promoted teams than Aguero - who has scored 29 times and provided seven assists. Fulham toil again While Fulham ran title chal- lengers Liverpool close in their last outing at Craven Cottage - losing 2-1 after James Milner's late penalty - they barely laid a glove on City. With injury depriving the Cottagers of 10-goal top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic, they start- ed the contest with a line-up that had seven league goals between them this season. In contrast, the visitors - who are now 14 games away from the quadruple - were able to boast a combined 22 league goals among their substitutes. The opening half emphasised the disparity of resource and the ambitions of the two clubs, as the best attack in the division repeatedly cut open the worst defence. Fulham were fortunate to only be two behind at the interval as City created a succession of chances and Raheem Sterling appeared to have a valid claim for a penalty turned down after Fosu-Mensah's challenge. And even when City eased up in the second period, the hosts were still unable to muster an ef- fort on target. Instead, City almost added a third goal when Kyle Walker fired a right-foot shot against the post after Sterling had laid the ball into his path. Only four of Sergio Aguero's 19 Premier League goals this season have come away from home Man City go back to the top with easy win at Fulham
