In a match that will be etched into the annals of club folklore, Manchester City’s journey to Fulham on Matchday 14 unfolded into an unforgettable spectacle of goals. The Premier League encounter was less a routine fixture and more a relentless, breathless drama, culminating in a historic victory for the visitors.

Opta’s records reveal the sheer rarity of this achievement: not since a 5-4 win over Sheffield Wednesday in 1957 had a Manchester City side conceded four times and still emerged victorious. Decades later, history repeated itself in a modern classic.

Beyond the sheer entertainment, the result carries significant weight in the title race. With this win, City have amassed 28 points from their 14 games. They now sit just two points off the summit, while holding a four-point cushion over the team in third. The league landscape, however, remains fluid. Both the leaders and the third-placed side possess an unplayed game, meaning the chase for the crown is poised for further twists in the coming weeks.
