Man City 4-1 West Ham: Pep Guardiola’s secured an emphatic victory at the Etihad on Saturday.
Just days after netting his first league goal for Pep Guardiola’s side Savinho was again at the heart of the action against Julen Lopetegui’s side.
The Brazilian made his way inside the penalty box and saw his ensuing strike deflected off Vladimir Coufal to put the hosts into the lead on 10 minutes.
West Ham had chances to level before the break but were unable to take them and were subsequently punished when Erling Haaland made it 2-0 with a header at the back post.
With the floodgates well and truly opened after the interval, Erling Haaland netted his second of the game before Phil Foden added his first league goal of the season.
The visitors continued to apply pressure of their own, and were rewarded for their persistence as Niclas Fullkrug pulled on back.
