Kovacic at the double as Man City beat Fulham

Date:

Mateo Kovacic staked his claim to fill the void left by Rodri with two goals as Manchester City came from behind to beat Fulham 3-2.

The champions were stunned as Andreas Pereira fired Fulham ahead after 26 minutes of Saturday’s Premier League encounter at the Etihad Stadium and the visitors should have had more.

Past tormentor Adama Traore, scorer of three goals when Wolves did the double over City five seasons ago, was the guilty party, spurning a hatful of gilt-edged chances.

Kovacic, filling in for the injured Rodri, made them pay with a double either side of half-time, and substitute Jeremy Doku secured victory with a stunning strike before a Rodrigo Muniz consolation.
