TEAMtalk<\/span><\/a> : \u00a0\u00a0<\/span> Manchester United cruised to a 5-0 win at Fulham, but Manchester City will be top of the Premier League at Christmas after beating Stoke 3-0.<\/p>\n

Sergio Aguero scored twice in City’s 3-0 home win over Stoke as his side claimed top spot in the league on Christmas Day for the first time since 1929.<\/p>\n

Aguero bagged a goal in each half in a comfortable win over a Stoke side City overcame in last season’s FA Cup final.<\/p>\n

Adam Johnson was also on target as City maintained their 100% record on home soil.<\/p>\n

Manchester United kept up the pressure on Barclays Premier League leaders Manchester City by flattening Fulham 5-0 at Craven Cottage.<\/p>\n

Danny Welbeck, Nani and Ryan Giggs were on target in a first half which was dominated by United with Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov completing the rout in the closing stages.<\/p>\n

There was disappointment for United however, with Phil Jones exiting in the 20th minute after the England defender was caught by Clint Dempsey’s arm while duelling for the ball and substitute Ashley Young also departing proceedings prematurely.<\/p>\n

Aston Villa winger Marc Albrighton scored the 20,000th goal in the Premier League but a late header from Arsenal substitute Yossi Benayoun earned the visitors a 2-1 victory at Villa Park.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
