Manchester City made it two successive victories in the Premier League with a 4-1 triumph over West Ham on Saturday afternoon, and you can watch the full match highlights below.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cityzens Breeze Past Hammers At The Etihad<\/h2>\n

Looking to record back-to-back Premier League<\/a> victories for the first time since the end of October, Manchester City welcomed Julen Lopetegui and his West Ham side to the Etihad on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Last time out, City recorded a 2-0 win over relegation strugglers Leicester City<\/a>, which followed a 1-1 draw with Everton, while the Hammers were battered 5-0 at home by league leaders Liverpool in their last game.<\/p>\n

It was Pep Guardiola<\/a>‘s side that got off to a better start, with Savinho terrorising Vladimir Coufal down the left-hand side. The Brazilian smashed a low-driven cross towards Erling Haaland<\/a> in the middle, and unfortunately for Coufal, the ball struck his boot and bounced over the head of Alphonse Areola to open the scoring for City.<\/p>\n

The Cityzens doubled their advantage on the 42-minute mark, and Savinho was right at the heart of it once more. Again, he left Coufal in the dust before curling his cross towards Haaland at the far post, who nodded into an empty net.<\/p>\n

In the second period, Haaland found his second of the afternoon after 55 minutes to take his goal tally across all competitions to 21 for the campaign, and Phil Foden added a fourth for the hosts three minutes later.<\/p>\n

West Ham<\/a> struck back in the 71st minute with Germany international Niclas Fullkrug netting his second league goal of the season, but it was too little too late for his side to mount any sort of comeback.<\/p>\n

Manchester City remain in sixth place with the victory, just a point behind fifth place Newcastle<\/a> following their 2-1 win over Tottenham, while the Hammers remain in 13th, however they could finish the gameweek in 14th.<\/p>\n
