Manchester City and Fulham play out a 1-1 draw at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, and it was Mateo Kovacic who saved the day for the Citizens. Fulham took the lead in the 26th minute through Andreas Pereira, who was set up by a clever assist from Raúl Jiménez.
However, Kovacic stepped up to the plate and scored a thunderous equalizer in the 32nd minute. His goal brought Manchester City back on level terms, ensuring the match ended in a draw.
This match was crucial for Manchester City, who have been looking to get back to winning ways after two successive draws in the Premier League. Despite the absence of key players like Rodri, who is out for the season with an ACL injury, and the uncertain availability of Kevin De Bruyne, City managed to hold their ground.
Fulham, currently in sixth place, have had a solid start to the season, winning three and losing just one of their opening six matches. Their performance against Manchester City shows their growing strength in the league.
