    FT: Man City 2-0 W Ham!!! Finished at the Etihad and it was an extremely comfortable win for the home side. Rodrigo scored with a header in the 30th minute and then De Bruyne added to City's tally in the 62nd minute after good play with B Silva. D Silva went off injured, but it didn't seem too serious. W Ham did not have a shot on target in the whole match and it's obvious to see why they are in the bottom 3. Thanks for joining us tonight and we hope to see you soon!
  • 93'
    Jesus passes to Foden who attempts to backheel it back to Jesus. It goes to the GK though.
  • 91'
    W Ham haven't had a shot on target so far.
  • 91'
    Four extra minutes.
  • 90'
    The game is heading to a very quiet ending here.
  • 87'
    W Ham have finally done some attacking, but there's an evident lack of quality. W Ham aren't being threatened at all.

    Man C sub: Foden is on for D Silva. Hopefully it's nothing too serious.
  • 84'

    What a save by Fabianski!!!! De Bruyne plays an outrageous pass to Jesus who chests down and Fabianski makes a spectacular save from point blank range. Then, the Belgian runs 60 metres to win the ball at the other end.
  • 75'
    The West Ham fans look very unhappy in the stadium. Moyes has not brought on any strikers, nothing has changed since HT and the team are in the bottom three. They are in serious trouble.

  • 73'

    HT: Man C 1-0 W Ham!!! Half-time at the Etihad! City in complete control here. Rodrigo scored from a corner after 30 minutes while Jesus and Aguero could have scored before that.
