Erling Haaland grabs late winner off bench to rescue win for 10-man Man City vs Fulham

Erling Haaland stepped up just when Manchester City needed him most as he scored a stoppage time winner to snatch top spot in the Premier League against Fulham.

The Norwegian - an injury doubt before the game - was introduced as a late substitute and looked to be on track for a hugely frustrating evening. With City granted a late penalty, there was only one man to claim the responsibility and he just squeezed his shot home to secure a huge three points.

Julian Alvarez had given Pep Guardiola 's men the lead in the early stages with an unerring finish only for former Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira to equalise from the penalty spot. Haaland eventually secured the role as matchwinner as he too converted from the penalty spot even despite having an earlier goal ruled out by VAR. As a result, City continue their 100% record at the Etihad Stadium this season.
