Premier League: Lookman On Target In Fulham's Defeat

  By Omolagba Oluwayemi Paul Pogba scored a superb winner as Manchester United reclaimed top spot in the Premier League by coming from behind for a club-record equalling away win at Fulham, BSNsports.com.ng reports. In what is becoming a familiar pattern for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side outside Manchester this season, they fell behind early in the game, with Ademola Lookman beating the offside trap before firing in an angled drive. But for the seventh time away from Old Trafford in 2020-21, United found a winning response taking their run to 17 games unbeaten away in the Premier League courtesy of a gift from their opponents and a bit of magic from their French midfielder. Goalkeeper Alphonse Areola has been a good addition for the Cottagers but in dropping Bruno Fernandes' cross at the feet of Edinson Cavani, he gifted his former Paris St-Germain team-mate the simplest of equalisers. And on the hour mark, Pogba stepped up to decide the contest, firing a superb angled drive across the diving Areola and into the far corner from 20 yards. Earlier, late goals from Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan ended Aston Villa's resistance as Manchester City moved top of the Premier League temporarily for the first time this season for a couple of hours before neighbours United regained the leadership. Pep Guardiola's side were knocked off the summit later on Wednesday as Manchester United beat Fulham, but the determination they showed to claim their sixth successive league win underlined that they are here to stay in this title race. Villa's first team, played their first game since New Year's Day because of a coronavirus outbreak which affected the squad but they showed no effect as they played defensively well against the attacks of Manchester City
