Manchester City finished third in the Premier League, beating Fulham on the final day to secure their place in next term's Champions League.

Pep Guardiola's fallen champions — they went into the season having won the Premier League title four times in a row — have endured a miserable campaign. This is the first time they have failed to win a major trophy since 2017, and they ended up 13 points behind the league champions, Liverpool.

City dominated the opening stages and deservedly took the lead after 21 minutes, thanks to Ilkay Gündoğan's stunning bicycle kick — his first league goal of the season — which came about when Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno pushed Matheus Nunes' cross into the German's path.

Fulham responded well, though, as Harry Wilson's low, curling effort was tipped away from goal by Ederson at full stretch. Andreas Pereira could only find the side netting when he followed up.

Josko Gvardiol saw a header saved by Leno at point-blank range, and Erling Haaland added a second from the penalty spot after Jorge Cuenca tripped Gundogan.

Fulham could not find a way back, and this was their 10th defeat since the turn of the year. They will therefore end the campaign in 12th position.
