EPL: Man City secure first back-to-back wins in three months, thrashing West Ham 4-1
Manchester City eased past West Ham at the Etihad, claiming consecutive Premier League wins for the first time since October.
Two goals from Erling Haaland, now at 21 goals this season, and two assists from the impressive Savinho were the highlights of the dominant display.
City took the lead through an own goal by Vladimir Coufal, whose deflection of Savinho’s cross-looped over Alphonse Areola.
Haaland doubled the advantage before halftime with a close-range header from another Savinho delivery.

The Norwegian added his second after the break, latching onto a clever pass from Savinho to chip over Areola.
Phil Foden rounded off City’s scoring, capitalizing on a defensive error to convert a Kevin De Bruyne assist.
West Ham’s Niclas Fullkrug pulled one back late on, redirecting Tomas Soucek’s cross, but it was scant consolation for Julen Lopetegui’s side, who struggled to contain City throughout.
