It&#8217;s good to be back. In the end we win 5-1 and it&#8217;s well deserved. I think it was offside as well, I feel bad for them, I would be fuming after this as well. It must be a horrible feeling for them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Last year was also difficult to start but we&#8217;ve been taking more points now. In the end it&#8217;s been a perfect start because we&#8217;ve won four games, but we have a much higher level and it&#8217;s about working towards that.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/03\/07\/75005839-12475267-image-a-43_1693724162869.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Erling Haaland netted a hat-trick against Fulham but felt that the Cottagers could feel hard done by from team-mate Nathan Ake&#8217;s header which had put Manchester City 2-1 up<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/02\/18\/74994043-12473519-image-m-15_1693674681232.jpg\" height=\"354\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Swiss defender Manuel Akanji could be clearly seen in an offside position for Ake&#8217;s goal<\/p>\n<p>Oliver after consulting with his assistant decided that Akanji hadn&#8217;t sought to gain an advantage despite feinting to get the ball and raise a leg which appeared to influence Fulham keeper Bernd Leno.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>VAR official Tony Harrington decided no error had been made so it didn\u2019t merit Oliver watching again pitch-side.<\/p>\n<p>However, prior to the restart, the goal was shown on the giants screens at the Etihad, prompting pandemonium among the Fulham players and a long delay, as the rather obvious offside was seemingly clear to all.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fulham boss Silva after the game said: &#8216;What I can say is that everyone that plays football, that has played football that has some knowledge about football is one hundred per cent sure that you disallow that goal.
