Manchester City 3 Fulham 2 here in the Premier League in what was a very
00:04
entertaining game I have to say hugely contributed to by Fulham. Saudi
00:09
actually came here in slightly better form and City haven't picked up 11
00:12
points in the previous five games and it proved because they came here were very
00:15
difficult to break down carried a real threat on the break and could have
00:20
perhaps on another afternoon have come away with something but ultimately City
00:23
another three points for them which extends their unbeaten run in the
00:26
Premier League to 30 games equaling a club record but City largely have to
00:31
thank Mateo Kovacic for the three points today he provided two goals and
00:35
one in the first half one a couple of minutes into the second period first on
00:39
a little bit of luck deflecting off Anderson and into the Fulham goal the
00:43
second one fantastic goal control it with his left foot pick the spot with
00:47
his right foot and just passed it into the bottom corner and Jeremy Doku came
00:52
on in the latter stages when there were a few nerves perhaps around the Eddie
00:55
had as Fulham pushed to try and find a way back into the game he scored to make
01:00
it 3-1 at that stage he thought the game was done but Fulham did come back and
01:05
provide or score a late goal via Moonies and to make it 3-2
01:09
ultimately no chance of that but it was a little bit of a nervy feeling for City
01:12
here and it was a game where once again they went behind that's actually all four
01:15
Premier League games this season at home City have trailed at some point and they
01:19
did go behind early on via Andreas Pereira of course a former Manchester United
01:23
player certainly not the most popular goal scorer here a little bit of lax
01:26
defending I think that was the case really for City all afternoon there was
01:29
a couple of moments where I think individually they defended quite well at
01:32
spells but as collective as a group it wasn't brilliant and it's a Kanji
01:37
losing his man Pereira for the first goal and for the second goal it was a bit
01:41
disappointing John Stones I thought overall because he again lost his man
01:45
Moonies for the second goal it was also an interesting moment where Kyle Walker
01:49
was outpaced by Adama Traore I suppose not a talking point as such in itself
01:53
because Traore is such a rapid player it was actually so rare for Kyle Walker to
01:57
be outpaced and outran that it was a talking point in itself a little bit
02:01
concerning just for the ease at which Traore managed to get past him but this
02:05
is a game that for City I suppose they had to knuckle down stay compact and
02:12
organized in the latter stages and it was more of a battle perhaps than it has
02:15
been in recent games they did come into this match of course with two draws
02:19
it gets them back on to winning ways in the end this little period of the season
02:23
before the October international break in second place just behind Liverpool
02:28
plenty of positives for City I think they'll be pleased to get back to winning
02:30
ways especially without Rodri and pleased that there were three goals scored
02:34
without Erling Haaland that's been a big talking point over recent weeks how
02:37
dependent City have been on the goals of the Norwegian but ultimately as I say
02:41
perhaps a few concerns about City defensively
