City`s Dominance Shines in 4-1 Win Over West Ham

Manchester City delivered a commanding performance against West Ham United, securing a 4-1 victory in the Premier League. This match, held at the Etihad Stadium, marked a significant turnaround for City, as it was their first back-to-back win since October. With this win, Manchester City climbed to sixth place in the league table, now sitting on 34 points, while West Ham remains in 13th with 23 points.

The scoring opened early in the match when West Ham defender Vladimir Coufal inadvertently deflected an angled shot from Savinho into the net in the 10th minute. As the first half progressed, Erling Haaland made his mark by heading in a long cross from Savinho just before halftime, giving City a comfortable lead.

After the break, Haaland continued his scoring spree, chipping a through ball from Savinho over West Ham's goalkeeper Alphonse Areola for his second goal of the match. Phil Foden added to the tally in the 58th minute, further extending City's lead. Although Niclas Fullkrug managed to pull one back for West Ham late in the game, it was too little, too late, as Manchester City had already established a firm grip on the match.

This victory comes at a crucial time for Manchester City, who have faced challenges in recent weeks, including a disappointing UEFA Champions League campaign and injuries to key players like Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne. Pep Guardiola has acknowledged the team's struggles but also pointed to the impact of injuries and the squad's age as contributing factors.

West Ham, on the other hand, is looking to recover from a heavy defeat to Liverpool just days prior. This match could signify a turning point for Manchester City as they aim to regain their form and push up the Premier League standings.
