"It's the Premier League, you can't control, it's the Premier League. I know you're going to ask what happened, and I don't have an answer. It's the emotion, it's the football. Why you do this, why you do that? But I'm sorry to tell you, we made incredible things today, incredible, because I know how difficult that team is. We proved it and scored the goals that we score and the quality we have done. Erling had a chance for 6-3 and immediately later, 5-4."
"It will be difficult, but at the same time, the Premier League is so long. And I promise you that I have enough experience to make long, long runs to try to fight to win the Premier League."
"And when that happens, it's just a question of survival. Don't tell me how, the players don't know either. At the end we take it."
Manchester City almost surrendered a four-goal lead but held on to win 5-4 at Fulham. Erling Haaland became the quickest player to reach 100 Premier League goals, doing so in 111 matches. City raced into a 5-1 advantage shortly after half-time, with Tijjani Reijnders scoring and Phil Foden adding a fine third; Emile Smith Rowe had earlier pulled one back for Fulham. Alex Iwobi and substitute Samuel Chukwueze scored three second-half goals to reduce the deficit and intensify the finish. The victory leaves City two points behind league leaders Arsenal and underscores defensive vulnerability despite attacking quality.
