Ilkay Gündogan's stunning overhead kick and Erling Haaland's second-half penalty fired Manchester City to a 2-0 win against Fulham and qualification for next season's Champions League.

City required just one point at Craven Cottage to guarantee a top-five finish in the Premier League, and Gündogan put them in the driving seat with his sensational opener after 21 minutes.

Fulham created a series of good chances, but Haaland made sure of the victory with 18 minutes remaining as City secured a third-placed finish with Fulham dropping one spot to 11th.

Kevin De Bruyne began his final match in a City shirt from the bench while Jack Grealish was not included in Pep Guardiola's squad at all.

Guardiola described Sunday's fixture as the most important of their season.
