Manchester City really struggled to beat Fulham (3-2) in a match where Raúl Jiménez and Adama Traoré were a constant threat.
The FC Barcelona-trained winger breaks through the sky blue defense with pace, often leaving plenty of space behind him, and with Adama Traoré up front it can pay dearly. In fact, it was the powerful Spanish international’s goallessness that allowed the locals to win.
He had three very clear chances to score a goal, but one went over the crossbar and in another Ederson won the game one-on-one. This means that after the final whistle Guardiola was seen talking to him and apparently even gave him advice. An unusual image, because this is not his player.
The Catalan coach explained this in a press conference: ”This person is an incredible threat. When he catches the ball, forget it. He beat our fastest player, Kyle Walker, in the race. He is unstoppable in the gaps. He is very difficult to control and he is an attractive boy, and Marco Silva has made him step up and play at his best level”.
