🔥 What a rollercoaster! Manchester City held on for a thrilling 5-4 win at Fulham today at Craven Cottage, and Erling Haaland made history as the fastest player to hit 100 Premier League goals.
🎯 Haaland needed just 111 games to reach the landmark, breaking Alan Shearer's 1995 record by 13 matches. The Norwegian superstar kicked things off in the 17th minute with his milestone strike, sending the City fans into a frenzy.
Just 20 minutes later, Haaland turned provider, delivering a perfect assist to Tijjani Reijnders, who lifted the ball over goalkeeper Bernd Leno to make it 2-0. Phil Foden then smashed in a powerful shot from the edge of the box to give City a 3-0 cushion before the break.
😲 But Fulham wasn't done. Emile Smith Rowe headed one back in stoppage time, and early in the second half, Alex Iwobi and Samuel Chukwueze (twice!) launched a stunning comeback that brought the scoreline to 5-4 with 12 minutes to go.
In the dying moments, Josko Gvardiol cleared Josh King's goal-bound effort off the line, sealing the win for City. The victory lifts them to 28 points, just two shy of league leaders Arsenal as the title race heats up this season.
Whether you're a stats fanatic or just love ⚽ drama, this match had it all: records, comebacks, and last-gasp heroics. Stay tuned for more epic moments in the Premier League!
