Manchester City vs Fulham Report

Scorers: Kovacic 32’, 47’, Doku 82’; Pereira 26’, Muniz 89’

Manchester City Extend Unbeaten Start with Comeback Win Over Fulham

Manchester City came from behind for the fourth consecutive Premier League (PL) home game this season, overturning a 1-0 deficit to beat Fulham 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium. The victory preserves City’s unbeaten league start and extends their impressive home run across all competitions.

First Half: Fulham Strike First, City Respond

City began the match with intent, nearly finding the net through İlkay Gündoğan and Erling Haaland in the early stages. However, it was Fulham who drew first blood. Raúl Jiménez’s outside-of-the-boot pass set Adama Traoré free, but Ederson’s quick reflexes denied the winger. Despite this save, Fulham’s breakthrough was only delayed. A deft flick from Jiménez set up Andreas Pereira, who volleyed home to put the visitors ahead.

Fulham almost doubled their lead moments later with a swift counterattack, as Alex Iwobi squared the ball for Traoré. However, the winger failed to convert, lifting his shot over the bar. The miss proved costly as City quickly capitalised on the momentum shift. A powerful effort from Mateo Kovačić deflected off Joachim Andersen and into the net, drawing City level with a classic smash-and-grab goal against the run of play.

Second Half: City Complete the Turnaround, Fulham’s Late Efforts Fall Short

The second half started explosively for City, who took the lead within two minutes of the restart. Kovačić, finding space on the edge of the area, guided a precise shot into the bottom corner, scoring his second goal of the match and matching his total from his previous City appearances.

Fulham almost hit back immediately, with a hopeful ball in behind finding Traoré once more. However, Ederson, resuming his duel with the winger, denied him again with a crucial save. The visitors continued to press and came close to levelling the score when a last-ditch block prevented Jiménez from netting his fourth goal in as many PL matches.

City appeared to seal the game with a moment of brilliance from Jérémy Doku, who cut inside from the left wing and unleashed a thunderous strike into the top-right corner, leaving Bernd Leno with no chance. Fulham managed to give themselves hope late on as Rodrigo Muniz swivelled in the box to find the top corner and make it 3-2, but it ultimately served as a consolation as City held on to secure all three points.

Conclusion

Manchester City showed resilience to come from behind and secure their fourth consecutive home comeback win of the season, extending their unbeaten PL run to 30 matches. Fulham, despite their valiant efforts and promising moments in attack, were unable to capitalize on their early lead. Marco Silva’s side will take some positives from the performance but will be disappointed not to have earned a point.
