In a game that will go down as an all-time classic which had absolutely everything, Erling Haaland struck first to become the quickest player to join the Premier League 100 club.
With Tijjani Reijnders and Phil Foden also on target, City raced into a 3-0 first half lead before Emile Smith Row pegged one back for the hosts.
Foden then struck again for his second just after the break before a Sander Berge own goal then made it 5-1 on 54 minutes.
However, three Fulham goals inside 21 minutes from Alex Iwobi and Samuel Chukwieze narrowed the deficit to 5-4 and made for the nerviest of finishes.
But the Blues withstood the Fulham pressure – and more than eight minutes of added time - to make it back-to-back Premier League wins and so move within two points of leaders Arsenal who don’t play until tomorrow night.
