Calling it: Gabriel Jesus helped Manchester City streak 17 points clear at the top of the Premier League with a 3-0 win at Fulham AFP/Catherine IvillLONDON: Manchester City showed their strength in depth as a side much changed by Pep Guardiola won 3-0 at Fulham to stretch their lead at the top of the Premier League to 17 points.

Despite still sitting in the bottom three, Fulham had been on an impressive run to haul themselves back into contention for survival, including a stunning 1-0 win away to Liverpool last weekend. Guardiola has often started without a recognised striker this season but with Jesus and Aguero paired up front, it took the visitors time to adjust to a new system.All Fulham's good work was blown away inside the first two minutes of the second-half as Stones opened the floodgates by latching onto Joao Cancelo's free-kick for a simple finish.

A three-goal lead allowed Guardiola to withdraw Bernardo Silva and Ruben Dias early ahead of a trip to Budapest for what should have been City's home leg of their Champions League last 16 tie against Borussia Monchengladbach.
