Manchester City's Erling Haaland made history on Tuesday by becoming the fastest player to reach 100 Premier League goals, sparking a crucial 5-4 win over Fulham. The Norwegian striker's blistering left-footed shot in the 17th minute ignited the Citizens' charge, which initially looked like a rout with a 5-1 lead. However, a resurgent Fulham side, fueled by Samuel Chukwueze's brace and Alex Iwobi's goal, mounted a thrilling comeback in the second half. Phil Foden scored a double, with Tijjani Reijnders and Sander Berge also contributing to City's lead. But Fulham's relentless pressure was finally repelled in injury time, with Josko Gvardiol clearing a shot off the goal line. The win keeps Manchester City firmly in the title hunt, second in the table with 28 points, ahead of Wednesday's crucial match between leaders Arsenal and Brentford.
