Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has hailed his side's resilience as they held off a second-half comeback from Fulham to win 4-2 at Craven Cottage.
The Citizens took a 2-0 lead into the break but strikes from Kieran Richardson and a own goal from Kompany himself handed the Cottagers a way back into the game, only for Jesus Navas and James Milner to fire Manuel Pellegrini's side to victory.
Kompany told BBC Sport: "We knew it would not be easy and they have a new manager.
"It was difficult but if you count the chances we had then we could have scored twice as many. Our substitutes made the difference as we had dropped a bit but our reaction was brilliant."
City are second in the Premier League following their win.
