Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Super Eagles defender, Ola Aina was in action for Fulham as they were beaten by Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Aina could not help Fulham avoid their eighth defeat of the season, as City thrashed the promoted side 2-0 in a one-sided encounter.<\/p>\n

Raheem Sterling opened the scoring in the fifth minute before winning a controversial penalty in the 26th minute.<\/p>\n

Kevin de Bruyne converted the spot kick to hand the Pep Guardiola side a two-goal lead into halftime, as both sides looked for more goals in the second half without success.<\/p>\n
