Overview
- Erling Haaland became the fastest to 100 Premier League goals, reaching the mark in his 111th appearance.
- The striker opened the scoring in the 17th minute, set up Tijjani Reijnders for 2–0, and was involved in Phil Foden’s 4–1.
- City stretched the lead to 5–1 after Foden’s second and a Sander Berge own goal before Fulham roared back.
- Alex Iwobi pulled one back and Samuel Chukwueze scored twice to make it 5–4, helped by goalkeeping errors from Bernd Leno and Gianluigi Donnarumma on corners.
