Mateo Kovacic will be glad that he was able to shoot during Manchester City’s 3-2 win over Fulham. If Kovacic hadn’t scored two great goals on Saturday, City might have lost points in back-to-back Premier League games.
That day, Fulham lined up in two banks of four to make things hard for the hosts. But the player who makes £150,000 a week broke their resolve with his magic right foot. The Croatian got some lucky when Joachim Andersen deflected his shot, letting it go past Bernd Leno and tying the game at 1-1 for Manchester City. However, the 30-year-old’s second goal showed off his great technique.
It was the right mix of power and accuracy, giving the Premier League winners the lead at the time. Kovacic pointed out Pep Guardiola told him to move in and around the box to look for chances, and he did exactly what his boss told him to do.
What Dias told Kovacic after Manchester City beat Fulham City is in second place going into the break for the international break. With a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, Liverpool kept up their great start to life under Arne Slot.
They are still on top of the Premier League table. Even though Arsenal beat Southampton 3-1, they are still in third place behind City with the same number of points after seven league games because they have a worse goal difference.
Some things went wrong for the Sky Blues, but they would be happy just to get the win against a strong Cottagers team.
“Good win for the team and another one coming for my family!” the middle star wrote under his picture. Dias replied with “Kova” and a love emoji. Mateo Kovacic gets a lot of praise for his brace. Kovacic got one goal for City in the Premier League last year.
With his most recent brace, the former Chelsea worker has scored three goals so far this season. He scored both goals in and around the opposition box, making him look a lot like Rodri.
Kovacic is not naturally good at scoring goals like Ilkay Gundogan and Phil Foden, who play in the middle of the field. But the smooth orchestrator stepped up to save the game for Manchester City against Fulham.
Kovacic is showing that he is still ready to improve his game even though he is 30 years old. Being ready to do that is a sign of a real top player.
