"Of course, we take many positives from the game, but the feeling is not the best, as you would expect,"
"Before the game, we had the ambition and the conditions, I believe, to get a different result. Massive respect to City. The way we started made [the game] more difficult for us. We were too soft, we didn't start on the front foot, like we should start these games. The first 20 minutes were difficult. We conceded the second goal too soft."
"The reaction of the team was always good, even after 1-0, we had a big chance through Emile [Smith Rowe] to score to equalise the game. It's a game where you score four goals and lose at home, the feeling is not good."
Fulham were beaten 5-4 by Manchester City at Craven Cottage in a nine-goal Premier League match that began with Erling Haaland becoming the fastest player to reach 100 Premier League goals. City led 3-0 through Tijjani Reijnders and Phil Foden before Emile Smith Rowe's header reduced the deficit. Foden scored again and Sander Berge’s own goal made it 4-1 by the 54th minute. Fulham fought back with Alex Iwobi and a Samuel Chukwueze double, but a late Josko Gvardiol clearance denied an equaliser. The match was Fulham’s first nine-goal top-flight game since 1968 and first home nine-goal game since 1965.
