Manchester City are back at the summit of the Premier League (PL) after Erling Haaland scored a 95th-minute winner in a 2-1 win. City who had to dig in deep with 10 men made sure they piped Arsenal to the top spot with the Gunners in action on Sunday at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea. The day also saw wins for Leeds, who came from 3-1 down to win 4-3 while Brighton won 3-2 away at Wolves.
City go top after late win
Erling Haaland's 95th-minute penalty dragged 10-man Manchester City back to the top of the Premier League with a 2-1 victory over Fulham on a day of high drama at a sodden Etihad Stadium.
Haaland kept his composure to tuck away his 18th league goal of the season after Kevin De Bruyne was fouled by Antonee Robinson in stoppage time to deny Fulham an unlikely point.
Julian Alvarez blasted the hosts in front on 17 minutes after relentless pressure, but referee Darren England's decision to send off Joao Cancelo and award Fulham a penalty turned the game on its head.
Andreas Pereira dispatched the spot-kick (28) to haul the visitors level, but, after a marginal VAR call had already frustrated Haaland, the Norwegian restored City's lead by converting his penalty underneath Bernd Leno with virtually the last kick of the game.
