West Ham United's first game of the New Year ended in a 4-1 Premier League defeat at Manchester City on Saturday.
The Irons made a bright start at Etihad Stadium, going close through both Mohammed Kudus and Tomáš Souček, but fell behind with ten minutes on the clock.
There was an element of fortune to the Citizens' opener, as Savinho's cross from the left took a wicked deflection off Vladimír Coufal and left Alphonse Areola wrongfooted.
Three minutes before the break, Manchester City took a stranglehold on the contest. Again Savinho was involved, sending a teasing cross over for Erling Haaland to nod home at the far post.
The Hammers' task became a virtually impossible one eleven minutes after the restart when Haaland clipped over Areola to make it 3-0.
And just two minutes later it was four thanks to Phil Foden's finish.
Niclas Füllkrug pulled one back with 19 minutes remaining in Manchester, but it was too little, too late for the travelling east Londoners.
