Haaland fastest to 100 goals as Manchester City win 5-4 at Fulham

Manchester City edged Fulham 5-4 at Craven Cottage in a thrilling encounter, with Erling Haaland becoming the fastest player in Premier League history to reach 100 goals. Haaland scored in the 17th minute, achieving the milestone in just 111 games and surpassing Alan Shearer’s 1995 record by 13 matches. He later assisted Tijjani Reijnders for City’s second goal. Phil Foden added a third before halftime, and Fulham pulled one back through Emile Smith Rowe. Early in the second half, Foden scored again following Haaland’s assist, and City extended their lead to 5-1 after a deflected Jeremy Doku shot.

Fulham mounted a remarkable comeback, with Alex Iwobi and Samuel Chukwueze (twice) reducing the deficit to 5-4. A late effort from Josh King was denied on the line by Josko Gvardiol, securing City’s victory. The win moved Manchester City to 28 points, just two behind league leaders Arsenal.
