TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Manchester City continued to maintain the pressure on Arsenal in the Premier League top-flight after a 3-0 victory over Fulham at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester on Thursday, February 12, 2026. City's three goals were scored by Antoine Semenyo (24'), Nico O'Reilly (30'), and Erling Haaland (39').

City dominated from the start. Phil Foden twice threatened, but his efforts were thwarted by Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno. The hosts finally broke the deadlock through Semenyo, who capitalized on a rebound in the penalty area.
Fulham responded through Harry Wilson, but City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was able to keep his goal out. City then doubled their lead through O'Reilly, who finished off Semenyo's pass, before Haaland closed the first half with a goal from Foden.
In the second half, Fulham tried to reduce the deficit through Raul Jimenez and Rodrigo Muniz, but their ineffective finishing kept the score at 3-0.
In another match, Aston Villa narrowly won 1-0 over Brighton & Hove Albion at Villa Park. The only goal came from an own goal by Jack Hinshelwood in the 86th minute. The three points kept Villa in third place with 50 points, six behind Arsenal. Brighton remained in 14th place with 31 points.
