Fulham complained that Manuel Akanji, stood in an offside position, had attempted to kick the ball on its way past and hindered Bernd Leno.
He finished clinically from an Alvarez pass, fired home a penalty and then turned in a Sergio Gomez cross to claim his seventh City hat-trick in stoppage time.
“I’m back,” said Haaland, who scored 52 goals last season. “I am always hungry. It’s a new season and I am ready. “We started a bit sloppy but we ended in a good way. It was important to win – four out of four – and we go into the international break after a really good start.” City’s victory was their second without manager Pep Guardiola on the touchline as he continues his recovery from back surgery, but the Spaniard is expected to return for the trip to West Ham in a fortnight.
“I think he misses us,” said Haaland. “We also miss him sometimes too, so we look forward to having him back.”Fulham go into the international break without a win since their season-opener at Everton, but veteran defender Ream expects the team to hit back.“It’s just a shame that we have an international break and it’s two weeks between games for some guys.
