Mateo Kovacic scored twice as Manchester City recorded a dramatic 3-2 win over Fulham on Saturday. Pep Guardiola's side suffered a major blow in the first half when Andreas Pereira scored to give Fulham the lead at the Etihad Stadium.

But Kovacic, who came in place of injured Rodri, stabilized City's position by scoring two goals before half-time. After two goals by the Croatian midfielder, Jeremy Dokuo scored and then Rodrigo Muniz made the match interesting by scoring a goal for Fulham. City are unbeaten in their first 10 matches in all competitions this season. They are heading for their fifth consecutive title with five wins from seven league matches.
