The Digest:
Manchester City emerged 5-4 victors in a Premier League classic against Fulham, where Erling Haaland's historic milestone and Phil Foden's brace were almost undone by a second dramatic collapse in four days, raising serious questions about their championship mettle.
Key Points:
- Manchester City defeated Fulham 5-4 in a chaotic Premier League match at Craven Cottage.
- Erling Haaland scored his 100th Premier League goal in record time, also providing two assists.
- Phil Foden scored twice, continuing his decisive form following a brace in the previous match.
- City raced to a 5-2 lead early in the second half before conceding twice more to Samuel Chukwueze.
- The nail-biting finish meant City nervously clung on to move within two points of league leaders Arsenal.
- This follows a similar pattern from their 3-2 win over Leeds, where they also nearly surrendered a commanding lead.
- Manager Pep Guardiola was criticized for a midfield substitution that coincided with Fulham's comeback.
