Erling Haaland ranks 3rd as the seven fastest players in the Premier League this season are revealed
While the majority of the list is made up of forwards and nippy wingers, surprisingly, a defender also ranks among the most rapid players.
And City midfielder Kovacic, signed from Chelsea, made him pay.
His first was a first-time effort from a half-cleared corner that went in via a deflection.
And his second, shortly into the second half, was a much cleaner strike from the edge of the area.
There was almost a twist, as Traore beat Kyle Walker for pace before again shooting at Ederson.
In fact, City conceded several more chances before Jeremy Doku drifted in from the left and crashed a fantastic strike into the far top corner.
At that stage you thought surely City were home and dry but they left substitute Rodrigo Muniz free in the box to give Fulham renewed hope late on.
