Even with a slightly experimental squad, Manchester City simply destroyed Slovan Bratislava. Guardiola’s team needed this bright victory, especially after the match with Newcastle, which can safely be called one of the weakest of the season.
After six rounds, Fulham are sixth in the table, and the defeat to Manchester United in the first round remains their only defeat. The team is in fine form. It was Fulham who inflicted the first defeats of the season on Nottingham and Newcastle.
Manchester City only in one of the five rounds was able to keep their gates intact, and Fulham only in one match left the field without a goal.
