Manchester City vs Fulham LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as hosts edge past Cottagers

MISS! After making his way to the left byline, Grealish stands up a lovely ball towards Bernardo Silva at the back post. The midfield maestro ghosts into the perfect position to finish, but his header loops over the far post and out of play! That should've hit the target!

While Fulham may have only had half as many shots - and attempts on target - as their opponents so far, they have increased their possession share by almost 15% over the past 20 minutes. It's impressive stuff from the Cottagers.

Fulham are pushing hard for a second goal before the break, as Jimenez has a scuffed shot blocked by Kovacic, then City are forced to concede a corner. Marco Silva must be delighted with how his team are playing today: ususally they excel at Craven Cottage, but they're taking the challenge to England's dominant side in Manchester.

Following City's latest corner, Fulham break at speed again, confidently committing bodies forward in numbers. So far, they've caused their hosts plenty of problems in that manner; this time, it all comes to nothing.

The hosts have got their tails up now, as Foden and then Lewis see shots blocked by Bassey inside Fulham's area. Then, Gvardiol tests Leno with a low effort which seems to be creeping wide, but the German goalkeeper still tips it behind for a corner.

Fulham have actually registered three of their four Premier League wins over Manchester City at the Etihad, albeit their most recent victory there was way back in April 2009, under Roy Hodgson. Can they do it again today, more than 15 years later?

Goal Mateo Kovačić

CLOSE! Fulham counter again, and Iwobi spins his marker before setting up a 10-yard strike for Traore. The winger can't keep his effort on target, though, and despite beating Ederson he also lifts the ball over the crossbar! City are living dangerously here!

Assist Raúl Alonso Jiménez Rodríguez
