Erling Haaland Leads Man. City To Second Straight Wins With Big Defeat of West Ham

 

Manchester City produced a dominant display to thrash West Ham United 4-1 in the Premier League on Saturday. The reigning champions secured their first back-to-back wins since October. Erling Haaland's brace and Savinho's stellar performance led the reigning champions.

City took the lead in the 10th minute through Vladimir Coufal's own goal, before Haaland scored twice in the 42nd and 55th minutes. Phil Foden added a fourth goal in the 58th minute, while Niclas Fullkrug scored a consolation goal for West Ham in the 70th minute.

The win propels Manchester City to sixth in the table with 34 points, 11 behind leaders Liverpool who have two games in hand. West Ham, meanwhile, remain 13th with 23 points, having conceded nine goals in their last two matches.

Manchester City's emphatic victory against West Ham United was a statement win for the reigning champions, who are slowly finding their footing this season. With Haaland and Savinho leading the charge, City will be looking to make a push for the top four in the coming weeks.

Overview 

Just the kind of performance that has eluded the Citizens for quite some time. Although West Ham set off scoring from an own goal, City maintained their composure against their pacey visitors, who aimed to catch them on the counter.  

Savinho's performance continues to play a significant role in the squad from the left wing, rendering the likes of Jeremy Doku and Jack Grealish in the dugout. The connection between him and Haaland was pronounced, tearing through the Hammers' midfield and defense made tacky.
