West Ham United gave a valiant performance but were undone by a brace of second half goals as Premier League leading Manchester City secured a 13th successive win on Sunday.
The Hammers were compact in defence whilst possessing a threat on the break and took the lead before the interval, Angelo Ogbonna rising highest to convert Aaron Cresswell’s right wing cross.
That left the visitors dreaming of an against-the-odds victory, but City regrouped after the break and made their pressure pay with goals from Nicolas Otamendi and David Silva.
