95'FT: Man City 2-1 West Ham!! All over at the Etihad and Man C deservedly take the points. Gundogan gave the hosts a first half lead and Pep's men were in control in the second half, but didn't find a second until Fernandinho netted in the 90th minute. Lanzini pulled one back for the Hammers with a stunner at the death, but it was too late. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!
Goaaaaaal!
