Mateo Kovacic Leads Manchester City to Comeback Victory Over Fulham
In an exciting Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium, Mateo Kovacic’s impressive brace propelled Manchester City to a thrilling 3-2 victory against Fulham. The former Chelsea midfielder showcased his talent by scoring two crucial goals, one just before half-time and another shortly after, while Jeremy Doku also contributed with a goal to secure City’s first win in three league matches.
The match began with Fulham taking the lead midway through the first half, as Andreas Pereira volleyed in a clever back-heeled assist from Raul Jimenez. Despite having opportunities to extend their advantage, Fulham failed to capitalize, allowing City to mount a comeback.
Kovacic’s goals turned the tide for Pep Guardiola’s side, and Doku’s third goal seemed to seal the win. However, a late goal from substitute Rodrigo Muniz brought Fulham back into contention, creating a tense finish for the reigning champions.
With this victory, Manchester City remains in second place in the Premier League standings, now with 17 points—just one point behind leaders Liverpool, who secured a win against Crystal Palace earlier in the day.
Fulham, despite the loss, holds onto sixth place with 11 points, ahead of Newcastle United, who are set to play later.
This match highlights City’s resilience and determination as they continue to chase the top of the Premier League table.
