Manchester City forward Julian Alvarez enjoyed a breakthrough moment at Fulham last season and could be ready for another
Erling Haaland scored his 50th goal of the season when Manchester City travelled to Fulham last season but Pep Guardiola was happier talking about another striker.
Kevin De Bruyne wasn't risked at Craven Cottage as he continued to be nursed through an ongoing hamstring injury, yet Alvarez's performance in his absence had made up Guardiola's mind. Two had to become three.ALSO READ: Man City rivals disprove latest excuse being readied for 115 charges "It’s not just the goal and the penalty. It's the intensity in the pressure, keeping the ball, and the vision because he is an incredible, exceptional player. Not just scoring goals - he knows exactly where the other players are and the movements, everything he does."
Their return - and the form of Phil Foden - has limited Alvarez again, and goals began to desert the forward as he lost a regular place in the team; he went eight games without scoring in March and April. However, he scored a striker's goal in the win at Brighton and then managed another lovely effort off the bench against Wolves.
