Man City's crazy match

In the early morning of December 3, Man City led 5-1 but let Fulham reduce the score to 4-5, even almost equalizing in round 14 of the Premier League.

Facing an opponent struggling in the bottom half of the rankings, Pep Guardiola could not have expected his team to score 5 goals but still have a difficult match until the last seconds.

Man City played brilliantly and led the home team 5-1 in less than an hour. Erling Haaland, Tijjani Reijnders and Phil Foden shined in the first half. Early in the second half, Foden completed a double and Sander Berge scored an own goal, giving the visitors a fifth goal. On the other side, Fulham only had a goal reduced by Emile Smith Rowe.

As for Haaland personally, he reached the 100-goal mark in the Premier League, becoming the 35th player to do so in the tournament but in the fastest number of matches in history (111 matches).

The 2 clubs contributed to a match with 9 goals.

However, the loose defense allowed Fulham to score 3 goals in a row, reducing the score to 4-5. In the remaining 20 minutes of the match, including extra time, the away team had to defend and there were times when it seemed like they would be tied.

A bit of luck helped "The Citizens" maintain their fragile advantage until the final whistle. In the 90+9 minute, Man City fans held their breath when they saw Gianluigi Donnarumma defeated by Kevin. However, the ball was still cleared by the defender right on the goal line.

With 3 hard-fought points at Craven Cottage, Pep and his students temporarily narrowed the gap with Arsenal to 2 points but played one more game. In this round, the "Gunners" will face Brentford.
