Guardiola’s men overturned Ward-Prowse’s early goal and continue to count their matches as victories.

Manchester City continues unstoppable. Not even the compact West Ham, which had signed its best start in Premier League history, could stop the reigning Triple champion. They had the necessary patience to break down the wall constructed by David Moyes after Ward-Prowse’s early goal (1-3), and they continue to count their matches as victories.

Multiple Absences Pep Guardiola, who had surgery for a herniated disc on August 22, returned after missing two matches to sit on the bench at the London Stadium. De Bruyne, who has been absent since the first match, as well as Stones, Grealish, and Kovacic, who all had muscle discomfort, were not present.

But Guardiola’s arsenal is endless, and the citizens quickly besieged Areola’s goal, who was by far West Ham’s best player of the afternoon. First, there was a quintuple chance that should have resulted in a goal, but the French goalkeeper made three saves in a row, and then there was a shot-cross from Gvardiol that Haaland couldn’t manage to push into the net from close range.

Ward-Prowse Continues to Shine Ward-Prowse, who has had an excellent start with West Ham, didn’t miss his chance after about 30 minutes of play. The former Southampton player, who had scored one goal and provided three assists in the first three matchdays, netted his second goal as a Hammer by heading in a precise cross from Coufal on the right.

Moments later, Haaland had the equalizer at his feet after a great play by Doku on the left, but he shot weakly, and Aguerd managed to clear it off the line just in time. However, neither the Moroccan center-back nor the rest of his teammates could stop the ‘sky blue’ onslaught after halftime, which began with Doku’s first Premier League goal.

Seventh for Haaland

The former Rennes player faced off against Coufal and placed it perfectly in the far corner past Areola, who kept his team in the game with several impressive saves in the second half, which City dominated from start to finish. Only Bernardo Silva, with a spooned pass from Julián Álvarez, managed to break down a defense that Haaland ultimately shattered four minutes from the end. The ‘Cyborg’ Norwegian scored his seventh goal, and City secured their fifth victory in five games. Everything remains the same in the Premier League.
