MANCHESTER, England (Feb. 11, 2026) (Interstat) — Manchester City opened its Premier League campaign with a commanding 3-0 win over Fulham on Wednesday at Etihad Stadium.

The hosts scored three times in a decisive 15-minute first-half span. Antoine Semenyo opened the scoring in the 24th minute, followed by Nico O’Reilly’s goal in the 30th. Erling Haaland added a third in the 39th minute. Assists came from Nicolás González, Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden, respectively.

The result defied a pregame projection from Interstat, which simulated a 2-1 City win and gave the club a 99.3% probability of victory. The match included four yellow cards, with Fulham’s Joachim Andersen booked in the 31st minute. City begins the season with a win, while Fulham starts with a loss.
