Manchester Cityโs Mateo Kovacic earned his inaugural brace in the Premier League during their 3-2 victory over Fulham.
The midfielder appeared in his eighth match of the season in the match against Marco Silvaโs team at the Etihad Stadium.
In the Champions League, the 30-year-old was an unused substitute in Cityโs 4-0 victory over Slovan Bratislava. However, he played the entire 90 minutes in the teamโs comeback victory over Fulham on Saturday.
Six minutes after Pep Guardiolaโs team fell behind 1-0 in the first half, Kovacic scored his second league goal of the season, bringing the host team even.
It was only two minutes into the second half when the Croatian international scored again, securing Cityโs first lead.
