Manchester City beat West Ham United 4-1 at Etihad Stadium in the Irons' first Premier League game of 2025.
Little went the Hammers’ way with the hosts clinical with their opportunities. The damage was done before half-time as an unfortunate own goal from Vladimír Coufal opened the scoring on ten minutes before an Erling Haaland header doubled City’s lead just before the interval.
Haaland added a third on 55 minutes, then Phil Foden swept home another moments later. Niclas Füllkrug netted a consolation with 19 minutes to play but, in truth, Pep Guardiola’s side were deserved winners on a cold afternoon in M11.
