Stuart Pearce's Manchester City travel to Craven Cottage on 5 November 2005 sixth in the table, with Fulham fifteenth, and Chris Coleman's side win 2-1. Every goal comes before half time, and both of Fulham's come from a starter who turned City down in the summer.
Richard Dunne's clumsy clearance lets a Fulham player in to cross, and the ball is side footed in from close range in the 6th minute. Lee Croft equalises in the 20th minute with a cool finish from Stephen Ireland's pass.
Antoine Sibierski replaces the injured Kiki Musampa on 43 minutes, and in the 45th minute the same Fulham scorer runs on to a teammate's pass, rounds David James and scores again.
Fulham hit the woodwork and James makes a double save, and after Sun Jihai and Heiðar Helguson come on, Bradley Wright-Phillips has a late equaliser ruled out for offside.
The phrase "top bins" is all about the top corners of the goal, where the crossbar meets the posts. It describes a goal scored with precision, power, and accuracy right into the top corner - an unstoppable strike! It is synonymous with "finding the corner" or a "perfect" strike - e.g. "They've put that top bins" or "That is top bins!".
