I'll admit - I nearly turned off the game. Once Nasri scored 10 seconds into the second half to put City up 2-0, I had little faith in Fulham not losing by even more. But two second half goals saw a tie game and City only leaving with 1 point. Now if Fulham could only play like that away from Craven Cottage.

Manchester United and City have combined for 25 goals in three games to open the season, including 8 and 5 yesterday, respectively. By my calculation, that's more than ⅓rd of all goals scored this year (72 total). Edin Dzeko (City) is leading the league with 6 goals, and Rooney is right on his heels with 5. They would be tied for 4th (Liverpool) and 5th (Chelsea) in the table, respectively, by goals scored.
Meanwhile, at the opposite end of things, Swansea City is still looking for their first ever Premier League goal. In spite of this, they are still 15th in the table thanks to two 0-0 draws.
