  • Manchester City secured a dramatic 5-4 victory over Fulham, narrowly avoiding blowing a four-goal lead after being 5-1 up.
  • Erling Haaland scored his 100th Premier League goal, becoming the quickest player to reach the milestone in just 111 matches.
  • City's other goals came from Tijjani Reijnders, Phil Foden, and Jeremy Doku, establishing a commanding lead early in the second half.
  • Fulham mounted a significant comeback with goals from Alex Iwobi and a quickfire double from substitute Samuel Chukwueze, reducing the deficit to 5-4.
