Mateo Kovacic - Brace leads to winKovacic scored two goals to go with four shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Fulham.

These were his second and third goals of the season, with his three goals being his only goal contribution this campaign. He should continue to see more time with Rodri (knee) out for the season, although, with Kevin De Bruyne (groin) likely to return following the break, Kovacic will likely split starting time with Ilkay Gundogan.
