Man City vs West Ham LIVE! Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today

Manchester City thrashed West Ham United 4-1 in the Premier League on Saturday for their first back-to-back wins since October thanks to two goals from Erling Haaland and one of their best all-around performances in weeks.

The reigning champions are sixth in the table on 34 points, 11 behind leaders Liverpool who have two games in hand. The Hammers, who were coming off a 5-0 rout by Liverpool six days earlier, are 13th with 23 points.

City got on the scoresheet in the 10th minute when United defender Vladimir Coufal deflected Savinho’s angled shot into the far corner. Haaland bagged his first in the 42nd minute when Savinho whipped in a long cross that the big Norwegian leapt sideways to head in.

Haaland notched his second shortly after the break when Savinho sent a through ball that the 24-year-old nonchalantly chipped over goalkeeper Alphonse Areola. Phil Foden padded City’s lead in the 58th minute before Niclas Fullkrug pulled a late goal back for the Hammers, but the game was already well out of reach

West Ham exposed again as Lopetegui continues to struggle to convince

17:30 , Jonathan Gorrie

Was this the good Manchester City turning up rather than the bad one, or simply West Ham doing what they do best in matches against the traditional Big Six?

It was, of course, probably both, Savinho and Erling Haaland in hungry enough mood that the Hammers’ latest heavy defeat — 4-1 at the Etihad — at least had mitigating factors.

That said, Julen Lopetegui, who could be seen kicking the air dejectedly in his technical area, will know all too well that these sorts of defensive errors his side once again produced could eventually see him out of a job.

West Ham ratings vs Manchester City: Coufal has afternoon to forget

17:02 , Jonathan Gorrie

West Ham were thrashed 4-1 by Manchester City at the Etihad as they failed to produce a response to last Sunday’s 5-0 demolition by Liverpool.

The 20-year-old City winger Savinho produced a match-winning display, forcing an own goal from Vladimir Coufal before assisting Erling Haaland twice.

Phil Foden made it 4-0 in the second half, before Niclas Fullkrug scored a fine consolation goal from Julen Lopetegui’s well-beaten West Ham.

Dom Smith was at the Etihad Stadium to rate the West Ham players’ performances…

It’s over!

West Ham were better than the scoreline but that will do little to make the traveling support feel any better.

A big performance from Savinho is a major boost for Man City.

89 mins: Somewhat of a harsh scoreline on the Hammers but nine goals being conceded in a week is pretty alarming to say the least…

And City are flying! Sloppy play from West Ham out from the back and De Bruyne pounces.

He plays in Foden, who fires home from close range.

Savinho with another incisive pass and another assist. He has inspired City to victory again, just as he did against Leicester last weekend.

55 mins: GOAL!

A fine finish from Haaland, who dinks one over Areola after a nice through ball from Savinho.

Todibo appears to be struggling with a knock. He has had an injury-hit time at West Ham so far and they are taking no chances. Dinos Mavropanos replaces him.

Man City 2-0 West Ham

50 mins: Nice interplay between Savinho and Haaland, although Todibo denies the Brazilian a shot after the striker’s through ball.

That was hopeless defending from Vladimir Coufal, beaten all ends up out wide by Savinho. The Brazilian’s cross deserved the finishing touch that Haaland then duly applied. Could be a long way back for West Ham now

Savinho does brilliantly to beat Coufal before whipping in a great ball for Haaland to head home.

Almost a superb team equaliser from one end of the pitch to the other by West Ham. If only someone had been there to tap home Wan-Bissaka’s stroked ball across the goalmouth.

Man City 1-0 West Ham

15:24 , Jonathan Gorrie

21 mins: Great pull back from Wan-Bissaka after a West Ham counter but no one there to apply the finish!

Man City 1-0 West Ham

16 mins: It will be fascinating to see if City have turned a corner again.

West Ham certainly have the tools to hurt them on the break.

15:13 , Jonathan Gorrie

That has gone firmly against the run of play. West Ham were the game’s more threatening team in the early knockings here, but instead it’s Manchester City who take the lead as Savinho’s cross deflects off Vladimir Coufal and cruelly into the net past Alphonse Areola. Nothing the Hammers can do about it now; all about the response.

GOAL! Man City 1-0 West Ham | Vladimir Coufal own goal ’09

Two in two games! Savinho’s strike is deflected off Coufal and past Areola for the opener.

06 mins: Slick counter almost has West Ham in but Kudus hits the side netting.

15:07 , Jonathan Gorrie

We saw from his time in Germany how dominant Niclas Fullkrug is in the air. Winning his first aerial duel of the afternoon just a moment ago saw him open up a counter-attack down the right. Could be a handy outlet for West Ham today, going long to Fullkrug.

Man City 0-0 West Ham

12:51 , Jonathan Gorrie

Julen Lopetegui is not putting a timescale on how long Jarrod Bowen will be out with his broken foot, but admits the injury “is not good news” for West Ham.

Bowen fractured his left foot in the 5-0 defeat to Liverpool and faces an extended spell on the sidelines.

It’s difficult to know if City have really turned a corner of late but little about what West Ham were doing against Liverpool would suggest they are ready to go to the Etihad and win.

West Ham, meanwhile, saw Jarrod Bowen come off against Liverpool and is now facing a spell on the sidelines after it was confirmed he suffered a fractured foot.

“Unfortunately for us it is not going to be a few days,” said the Hammers boss on Thursday.

“He was able to play 30 minutes with his injury but now he has to rest and recover. Let’s see, but it is not good news for us.”

Lukasz Fabianski was forced off with a head injury against Southampton and duly missed the loss to the Reds.

Tomas Soucek and Guido Rodriguez could return from suspension. Michai Antonio is recovering after surgery on a lower limb fracture suffered in a road traffic accident last month.
