Each game carried major implications in the league standings and offered its own storyline full of tension, goals, and late twists.
1. Fulham 4–5 Manchester City: Nine-Goal Thriller at Craven Cottage
Fresh off a dramatic 3–2 victory over Leeds United last weekend, Manchester City were once again pushed to their limits, this time in a wild 5–4 showdown against Fulham at Craven Cottage.

Tijjani Reijnders (37′) – finishing a precise passing sequence
-
Phil Foden (44′, 48′) – scoring twice through brilliant link-up play and positional awareness

Sander Berge (54′, own goal) – deflecting the ball into his own net under pressure from City attackers
Despite City’s offensive dominance, Fulham refused to back down, mounting a spirited fight led by:
