"City dominated from the first whistle and went ahead in the 24th minute, with Antoine Semenyo turning home on the stretch when Matheus Nunes' cross struck Sander Berge and dropped into his path. Semenyo had an assist to go with his goal six minutes later, slipping in Nico O'Reilly to finish on the counter-attack only 51 seconds after Gianluigi Donnarumma had denied Harry Wilson."
"Data Debrief: Haaland ends open-play drought as Semenyo's hot start continues The game was effectively over at half-time, with City registering just one shot after the break. Overall, they produced 1.47 expected goals (xG) from 13 shots to Fulham's 1.5, 0.81 of which came in the second half, from 14 attempts. Haaland's strike was his first non-penalty goal in the competition since netting a brace against West Ham on December 20, ending his longest such drought for City."
