On a night that will go down in Premier League history, Manchester City survived a dramatic 5\u20134 thriller at Craven Cottage against Fulham a result overshadowed by a momentous achievement from their talismanic striker Erling Haaland. With a 17th-minute strike, Haaland became the fastest player ever to reach 100 Premier League goals<\/strong>, doing so in just 111 league appearances<\/strong> smashing a record held since 1995 by Alan Shearer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

City looked in total control for much of the evening. After Haaland\u2019s opener, they surged into a 5\u20131 lead thanks to goals from Tijjani Reijnders<\/strong>, and a brace from Phil Foden<\/strong>, along with an own goal, before Fulham launched a remarkable comeback attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fulham struck back through Emile Smith Rowe<\/strong>, Alex Iwobi<\/strong>, and a brace from Samuel Chukwueze<\/strong>, nearly completing an incredible turnaround. Their fight-back nearly forced a draw, but a dramatic goal-line clearance by City defender Jo\u0161ko Gvardiol in stoppage time preserved the victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
