City’s siege mentality growing

Fulham 1 Manchester City 2

City started slowly and left it late to win at Fulham, the victory coming after Edin Dzeko took advantage of a defensive mistake by John Arne Riise to score the winning goal with effectively his first touch of the game, in the 87th minute.

Sergio Aguero had got them back into the game shortly before half-time, equalising Mladen Petric’s 10th-minute opener for Fulham from the penalty spot, a sore point for Mancini and his players.
