Manchester City beats West Ham (3-1) and strengthens its position at the top of the English Premier League with its fifth victory in five matches.
If nothing is going well for its neighbor United (1-3 defeat to Brighton), then everything is going well for Manchester City, the winner at West Ham (3-1). Pep Guardiola’s side, unstoppable since the start of the season, achieved their fifth success in as many days, thus cementing their position at the top of the Premier League. However, it was the Europa League winners who were in front at half-time after a supersonic counter-attack completed by James Ward-Prowse (36th), exhilarating since his arrival in London (2 goals and 3 assists in four matches).
First for Doku, Haaland still scores
Frustrated by Alphonse Areola who was in a state of grace, making 10 saves in total, the Cityzens went the extra mile after returning from the locker room. Jeremy Doku, bought for €60 million this summer, showed why the current England champion has invested so much money in him by matching the personal achievement we know for him (1-1, 47). The Belgian’s first goal in his new colours. In the last quarter of an hour, Bernardo Silva, with a falling shot from the left side (1-2, 76), and then Erling Haaland, again, after a good serve from the Portuguese midfielder (1-3, 86), enhanced City’s success.
