The match in brief
Julian Alvarez gave the hosts the lead in the 31st minute, but Fulham's captain Tim Ream equalised almost immediately.
Nathan Ake restored Manchester City's lead just before half-time, and a second-half hat-trick from the Norwegian striker Haaland, with strikes in the 38th, 70th, and 95th minutes, took the game out of the reach of the Cottagers.
What Haaland said
Haaland acknowledged his and Manchester City's slow start to the season, attributing it to the length of the previous campaign, where they got to the end of three competitions and won them.
But with his hat trick, last season's Golden Boot winner announced that he is back and that he is as hungry as ever.
"It started a bit sloppy, but we ended in a good way. Important win, we go into the international break having won four in four. Good start to the season,” He said, per the BBC.

"Every year is like this at this club. We start a bit late and a bit sloppy because we play right until the last game [of every season] because we are the best club. It is how it is. We will only get better and better from here.
" I'm back. No problem for me. I am always hungry. It's a new season, and I am ready for him.
