Man City Crush Fulham: Haaland Shines in Historic Win
Manchester City made a commanding statement at the Etihad, dominating Fulham with a 3-0 victory that keeps them firmly in the title race. From the first whistle, City controlled the pace, moving the ball with precision and intent, while Fulham struggled to find any rhythm under the relentless pressure.
It didn’t take long for City to break the deadlock. Early in the first half, Semenyo found the back of the net, setting the tone for what would become an unstoppable City performance. Just six minutes later, O’Reilly doubled the lead, leaving Fulham chasing shadows and forcing their defense into repeated scrambles. By the 39th minute, Erling Haaland, Manchester City’s lethal striker, sealed the first-half dominance with a goal that highlighted both his timing and technical skill.

City’s control was reflected in the numbers. They held nearly 60% possession, completed over 300 passes with a 90% accuracy rate and registered four shots on target compared to Fulham’s two. Their ability to dominate possession in Fulham’s half, combined with a high work rate and smart pressing, effectively neutralized any threat from the away side. Fulham’s few attempts, while spirited, never truly tested Donnarumma, who remained composed throughout the match.
Historically, this result continues an extraordinary pattern. Manchester City have now won 19 consecutive matches against Fulham across all competitions, including 16 straight Premier League victories. That streak is not just a statistic—it’s a demonstration of tactical superiority, squad depth and consistency at the highest level. For Fulham, it’s a stark reminder of the gulf that still exists when facing the Premier League’s elite.
This win keeps Manchester City in second place, just behind Arsenal, but with momentum firmly on their side as the season heads into its critical stages. For Pep Guardiola’s side, the challenge now is maintaining focus and consistency, especially as the pressure mounts in both domestic and European competitions. For Fulham, the task is to regroup, learn from the shortcomings and find strategies to close the gap against top-tier opposition.
Manchester City’s display tonight wasn’t just about goals; it was a masterclass in controlling a game, exploiting weaknesses and executing a plan with precision. Fulham, while resilient at times, simply couldn’t withstand the tactical firepower in front of them.
