Roberto Mancini's men comfortably beat Fulham, taking Manchester City that little more in to outright favourite status to take the title in the Premier League.

Manchester City moved three points clear at the top of the Premier League table courtesy of an easy 3-0 victory over Fulham at a wintry Etihad Stadium this evening.

In poor conditions, City took the lead 10 minutes into the game through a Sergio Aguero penalty after Adam Johnson appeared to trip over a lingering Chris Baird leg. Subsequent replays showed that there was minimal contact however and Fulham had reason to feel aggrieved.

Aguero was matched at [5.2] in the First Goalscorer market, while the 'Yes' option in the Penalty Awarded market was backed at [4.0].

Baird's night got much worse on the half hour mark when Johnson's shot-come-cross deflected off the Fulham defender and into his own net past the stranded Mark Schwarzer. The Half Time 2-0 Score was matched at [7.8].

The points were sealed with 15 minutes to go when Ageuero dribbled his way into the area before teeing up Edin Dzeko to rifle home from 10 yards. The 3-0 Correct Score was backed at a high of just [11.0] In-Play.

The result means City tighten their grip at the head of the Premier League Winner market and are now available to back at [1.65]. Fierce rivals Manchester United - who face Chelsea tomorrow - can be backed at [2.92].
