Man City breeze past Fulham for 4 out of 4 in the Premier League

Manchester City continue their perfect in the start of the season, getting fourth win out of four games, beating Fulham 5-1 at Ettihad.

The Citizens needed half an hour to open the scoring as Erling Haaland passed to Julian Alvarez inside the box and the Argentine kept his cool to finish the chance.

Just 120 seconds later, though, the London side equalized. After a corner kick Tim Ream collected the pass and beat Ederson with a nice shot inside the left corner.

Right on the verge of halftime City came back in front. Phil Foden crossed from a corner and Nathan Ake jumped the highest to fire a great header into the bottom left corner.

50 – Erling Haaland has reached 50 goal involvements (41 goals, 9 assists) in just 39 appearances in the Premier League, breaking Andrew Cole’s record (43 games) to become the fastest player to reach 50 goals and assists in the competition. Bullseye. pic.twitter.com/RH8IaMrogB
