Fulham score 4 goals past Manchester city
Manchester City survived a late scare to edge Fulham 5–4 in a breathtaking Premier League showdown at Craven Cottage on Tuesday night. The champions appeared to be cruising after a dominant first-half performance, but a spirited Fulham comeback turned the clash into one of the season’s most dramatic fixtures.
City struck early through Erling Haaland, who opened the scoring inside 20 minutes before Tijjani Reijnders doubled the lead with a composed finish. Phil Foden added two quick goals before the break — one shortly before halftime and another seconds into the second period — giving City what looked like an unassailable advantage.
Fulham, however, refused to collapse. Emile Smith Rowe pulled one back in stoppage time of the first half, injecting belief into the home side. After the restart, Alex Iwobi reduced the deficit further before Samuel Chukwueze ignited a surge with a brilliant brace, striking in the 72nd and 78th minutes to drag Fulham to within a single goal.
Despite the furious push from the hosts, City held on through a tense final spell that included eight added minutes. Substitutions, time-wasting cautions, and frantic defending defined the closing moments, but Fulham’s late waves could not find the equalizer.
The result keeps Manchester City firmly in the title chase, while Fulham will rue a slow first half that overshadowed an outstanding fightback. The Craven Cottage crowd witnessed a classic — a match defined by courage, chaos, and nine unforgettable goals.
