US EditionHaaland makes history as Man City hold off charging Fulham in wild 5-4 victory
- On Dec 2, Manchester City's Erling Haaland became the fastest player to reach 100 Premier League goals in just 111 matches as City held off Fulham's comeback to win 5-4 at Craven Cottage.
- Haaland opened the scoring in the 17th minute with a clinical finish, while Phil Foden, Tijjani Reijnders, and a Sander Berge own goal helped Manchester City race to a 5-1 lead.
- A late Josko Gvardiol clearance denied an equaliser, after Fulham scored three second-half goals, including a brace from Samuel Chukwueze, to narrow the score to 5-4.
- The result moves Manchester City within two points of league leaders Arsenal, who host Brentford on Wednesday, but Pep Guardiola will be concerned by City's defensive meltdown and need Haaland's form to overhaul Arsenal.
- By toppling Alan Shearer's previous mark, Erling Haaland became fastest to 100 Premier League goals in 111 matches, though Shearer's 260-goal record still stands.
