    Fulham double sub: Wilson and Vinicius leave the field and Cairney and James join the action.
  • 74'
    Haaland's done it!! He's needed just 10 minutes!! Fulham lose the ball in their own half, KDB crosses for Haaland who heads in from six yards! I think the Norwegian may be off!
  • 73'
    Wilson makes a run forward and his cross comes to nothing. The Fulham man seems to have pulled something and is asking for the change.
  • 69'
    Haaland! Man City threaten, but Haaland's effort from close range is wayward.
  • 66'
    Tete!! He shoots from long range and Ederson holds on.

  • 62'
    Wilson!! Chance for the visitors as Reed plays in Wilson, but he hits wide!! It may have just been offside.
  • 60'
    Fulham are keeping the ball in their own half as they are happy for the clock to tick to 90.
  • 58'
    Shots: 10-1, on target: 1-1.
  • 56'
    Julian Alvarez gets past one defender and then earns a corner on the far side, City's eighth.
  • 53'
    Still 1-1 here and Leno hasn't had anything major to do since the resumption.
  • 51'
    Ake! The Dutchman is sent a ball to the back post and his header is simple for Leno.
  • 50'
    Gundogan looks to play in J Alvarez on the edge of the box, but the Argentine isn't on the same wavelength.
  • 49'
    The hosts are enjoying most of the possession, just like in the first period.
  • 48'
    Sarcastic cheers go up from the crowd after Grealish wins a free-kick in his own half.
  • 46'
    Foden is warming up as is Haaland.

    Man City get us going once again!
  • 45'
    HT: Man C (10) 1-1 Fulham! Half-time at the Etihad and one refereeing decision is in the headlines. City took the lead through Julian Alvarez after 16 minutes and were dominating proceedings until Joao Cancelo was controversially red carded for a foul in the box when Wilson was through on goal. It looked a shoulder charge, but the ref thought otherwise and Pereira made no mistake. City have still been better since the goal, but they're clearly frustrated with the official. Back shortly!

    Grealish!! His effort hits a defender and goes behind for a corner. Three added minutes.
  • 44'
    KDB is taken out by Reed, the home crowd want a red and the ref just goes for yellow. That was very cynical and he will miss the next game.
  • 42'
    Grealish! The former Villa man gets the ball from Alvarez, he gets the ball in the box and cuts inside, but it goes wide of the far post.
  • 41'
    Grealish goes again and his cross goes behind for a goal kick-.

    Man City attacking still despite being a man down.
  • 29'
    Man City are far from happy with the call and I think Cancelo is unlucky. It looks a good shoulder charge to me, but the ref deemed it a foul and once it was given, it was a clear red.

    That goal was coming and Leno had no chance. Had he been in the way, it would've taken his head off.
