00:00Anderson
00:07Lukic, Traore
00:10immediately on to Robinson
00:12Jimenez breaking free
00:17this is Iwobi now
00:19Jimenez again
00:20trying to create one for Pereira
00:22it's beautifully made
00:25and he took it well too
00:29Fulham's season is going from strength to strength
00:32and now they're having a go at the champions
00:38wow, incredible
00:41what a team goal from Fulham
00:44they worked it well, they moved the ball around into different positions
00:48from left to right
00:50the willing runner of Robinson
00:52and no wonder those Fulham supporters are celebrating
00:55but we just see it from here
00:56Robinson, great deep cross
00:58Jimenez alive, trying to create something, gets a bit fortunate
01:01but it's this run here
01:02into the space, thinking it's too much
01:04but what about this, that little flick, sensational
01:07Ikanju doesn't see it
01:09and then you pull off the shoulder
01:12it's a fabulous finish, great run
01:14but that, regarding assists
01:17right at the top
01:21what a gorgeous setup
01:24and the former Manchester United youngster
01:27delighted to apply the finish
01:29at the Etihad
01:35good ball needed
01:38Diaz rising
01:39commits it!
01:42absolutely thumped it through the crowd
01:48well they can play with such panache
01:50but sometimes you just need the power
01:57the reaction is what's needed for Pat Guardiola and his team
02:02as the ball comes in, no wonder
02:05they're pleased with it
02:06they worked so much on the set piece
02:09to try and keep it alive
02:11but delivery comes in
02:13and there are threat, Ruben Diaz all around it
02:15getting involved
02:16and he just steps onto it
02:18really really quickly, Kovacic
02:20strikes it well, such experience
02:22and you see it drifting
02:24that deflection
02:26off Anderson as it just
02:28goes to that left-hand side of the goalkeeper
02:31it's a fortunate one but they'll take it
02:34and Sundlund who went 50 games without losing in the 1890s
02:40ball over from Foden
02:41Bernardo Silva, Kovacic!
02:46oh he enjoyed that one
02:48and so did the Etihad
02:53it hasn't taken Manchester City long to click into gear in the second half
02:58less than two minutes on the board
03:00and Matteo Kovacic has his
03:02and City's second
03:06that's a brilliant goal from City
03:09talks about Phil Foden getting spaces, going into
03:14to try and get some joy when he's gone down that left-hand side
03:17and the deep cross comes across
03:19but Bernardo, wonderful touch
03:21awareness, just took that defensive line from Sanderberg
03:24and the touch from Kovacic
03:27it's here now, fantastic
03:29then it opens the goal up
03:31it's both sides to go at
03:33brilliant finish, he just draws it, gives the goalkeeper the eyes
03:36into that corner, great start to the second half for City
03:43one minute and thirty-five seconds from the
03:46first whistle of the second half
03:48to the goal
03:58Haaland
03:59intelligent now for Lewis
04:02here's Doku
04:07options gathering in the middle, he fancies it himself
04:10oh, that is fantastic
04:18and that probably sees off Fulham
04:25a strike of real quality
04:29from a player who can really turn it on at times
04:35Manchester City relieved to have a two-goal cushion
04:41it's amazing when we're talking about what Jeremy Doku
04:46that the fans are wanting him to go in behind
04:48but it was that long punt from Ederson
04:50it was Rico Lewis, good set from Haaland
04:52and this is the moment now
04:54he sees, he realises the space
04:56the cover and the line
04:58and once he dips inside, it's that little jink
05:00then hits it extremely well
05:02such power
05:04the ball diverts and sort of drifts to that far top corner
05:08sensational finish
05:10and that's the one City
05:12and Pep demanded to make sure they take all three points
05:22he hit that with real power
05:25and it was moving so much in front of Bernd Lehner
05:31Fulham have been right in this game all the way through
05:34but that goal might well be just too much for them to recover from
