LIVE updates from our reporter Nayan Murthy at Craven Cottage as Fulham take on Manchester City

Pep Guardiola reaction
“In other leagues you can’t control it, it’s the Premier League.””Why you do this, why you do that? So all the goals was about defending the edge. We go so deep to defend these kind of crosses, you have to occupy the spaces a bit better. But I’m sorry to tell you, we made incredible things today. “Incredible, because I know how difficult it is against this team. We proved it and score the goals that we score and the quality we have, and the way we defend.”
Erling Haaland reaction

“It’s huge and I’m really proud,” he said to Sky Sports. “Of course it’s a massive thing, 100 club is a nice thing to be in and I’m happy.

“I knew about it, that’s what I tried to do. I try to help the team scoring goals, that’s my job.

“Every game is a different game, you can’t think of the game that’s been you need to focus on what’s ahead. The reality is we lost against Newcastle and Leverkusen but now we have two in a row and we have to keep going.”
