MANCHESTER: Fulham manager Marco Silva was left seething over a controversial goal in their 5-1 hammering by Manchester City on Saturday (Sep 2), arguing that it was "a huge mistake" and the turning point of the game.
Mantan wasit Liga Inggris, Mike Dean, menilai gol Nathan Ake ke gawang Fulham harusnya tidak sah. Manuel Akanji offside karena mengganggu pandangan Bernd Leno.
Fulham manager Marco Silva claims it should have been “impossible” to allow Manchester City’s controversial second goal to stand in his side’s 5-1 loss to the champions.
Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick as Manchester City maintained their perfect Premier League start with a 5-1 thrashing of Fulham on Saturday, as Son Heung-min also netted three times in Tottenham's 5-2 victory at Burnley. But Chelsea's huge investment in the transfer market is still to reap reward as the Blues lost 1-0 at home to Nottingham Forest. In keeping with the early weeks of the season, City were good enough for the three points without ever hitting top gear. "Every year is like this at this club. We start a bit late and a bit sloppy because we play right until the last game (of the season) because we are the best club," said Haaland. "We will only get better and better from here."

Manchester City's stand-in boss Juanma Lillo said Nathan Ake's controversial goal that gave the Blues a half-time lead against Fulham was right to stand and was more of a goal than the one Sheffield United scored against them last week.
Manchester City will stay top of the Premier League going into the September international break after beating Fulham on Saturday thanks to an Erling Haaland hat-trick.
MANCHESTER, United Kingdom: Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick as Manchester City maintained their perfect Premier League start with a 5-1 thrashing of Fulham on Saturday, as Son Heung-min’s also netted three times in Tottenham’s 5-2 victory at Burnley. But Chelsea’s huge investment in the transfer market is still to reap reward as the Blues were beaten 1-0 at home by Nottingham Forest. In keeping with the early weeks of the season, City were good enough for the three points without ever hitting top gear. The English champions were without manager Pep Guardiola as he recovers from back surgery in his native Catalonia. The home side had not had a shot on target until Julian Alvarez turned home Haaland’s cross to open the scoring on 31 minutes. Fulham, who were missing influential midfielder Joao Palhinha after his deadline day move to Bayern Munich collapsed on Friday, responded immediately when Tim Ream tapped in from a corner. City needed a set-piece of their own to restore the lead in controversial circumstances. Nathan Ake’s header was allowed to stand despite Manuel Akanji, who was in an offside position, jumping over the ball. Haaland then exploded after the break.
