USMNT's Antonee Robinson can't overcome Manchester City as Fulham fall despite Raul Jimenez's spectacular assist

<p>U.S. international Antonee Robinson and Fulham fell to Manchester City Saturday, with Pep Guardiola's men earning all three points with a narrow 3-2 victory.</p><p>The Cottagers opened the scoring in the 26th minute, but 32nd and 47th-minute strikes from Mateo Kovacic handed City an advantage, with winger Jeremy Doku finishing the match off with a third in the 82nd minute. Fulham did get a late goal back in the 89th minute through Rodrigo Muniz, but it was too little too late.</p><p>Robinson played all 90 minutes, while Mexico international Raul Jimenez recorded a sublime assist in their opening goal. The striker lifted a delicious backheel flick over the defense, with midfielder Andreas Pereira smashing it home.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">A beautiful assist from Raul Jimenez to tee up Andreas Pereira! 🤩<br><br>📺 Peacock | <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MCIFUL?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#MCIFUL</a> <a href="https://t.co/lfZxgjwrOT">pic.twitter.com/lfZxgjwrOT</a></p>— NBC Sports Soccer (@NBCSportsSoccer) <a href="https://twitter.com/NBCSportsSoccer/status/1842573001633439904?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 5, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Cottagers' unbeaten streak of seven-straight matches across all competitions without a loss was snapped, while City continued their unbeaten start to the season.</p><p>Robinson struggled mightily against their attack, losing nine duels during the contest - the most of any player on the pitch. He completed 24 of 28 pass attempts, while creating one attacking chance as well.</p><p>On the attack he completed just two of nine cross attempts, and was dispossessed twice during the contest. Defensively, he didn't win a single of his three tackles, but recorded two important headed clearances.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Robinson has played 90 minutes in every match he's started for the Cottagers this season in the Premier League. He has two assists during that span.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Robinson will head to USMNT training camp in the next few days for his first training sessions under Mauricio Pochettino. Matches against Panama and Mexico await the U.S. as they enter a new era under the leadership of the Argentine.</p>
