City's goals came from an unfamiliar source as Mateo Kovacic got an unlikely brace to put Pep Guardiola's side back in the driving seat.

Jeremy Doku came off the bench to extend City's lead, but a Rodrigo Muniz strike in the 88th minute set up a few nervy last moments for the Citizens.

Adama Traore's missed chances vs Fulham

Many fans would argue that the scoreline would have been a little bit different had Adama Traore converted one of his numerous chances.

The pacy winger was a thorn in Manchester City's side the whole afternoon, catching out the backline on various occasions. Traore, however, fluffed his lines repeatedly despite being in good positions.

Guardiola coaches Traore on the pitch

The Spanish international was understandably upset after the final whistle, with Guardiola seemingly offering him a shoulder. The tactical genius was spotted talking to the winger, with fans convinced he was telling him how to improve his game.

@ZhaoyiLin thought Guardiola told Traore that,

"It is okay if you failed to score against my team; now your job is to improve your gameplay and score against the other teams."

"Pep thinks Traore's next match is with Arsenal, so he is coaching him to use those chances to beat Arteta. Man is so scared."

The win ensured Manchester City remained within touching distance of league leaders Liverpool, who beat Crystal Palace earlier in the day. They play Wolves after the international break.
