Manchester City, the defending Premier League winners, defeated Fulham 2-1
to temporarily take the top spot in the standings. Elkay Gundogan’s deft
through ball to Julian Alvarez, who buried it with force past Bernd Leno,
gave Manchester City the lead in the 16th minute. Joao Cancelo fouled Harry
Wilson in the goal area in the 26th minute, earning him a red card. Andreas
Pereira, a former midfielder for Manchester United, scored from the penalty
spot to tie the score. After replacing Kevin De Bruyne in the 64th minute,
Erling Haaland did score a spectacular header from the cross, but the goal
was disallowed for offside.
