A brace from Sergio Aguero helped Manchester City pick up three-points in London yesterday as they closed the gap on top-spot to three-points.
The Argentine struck twice with David Silva netting the third.
A neat over-head kick from Ricardo Vaz Te wasn’t enough for The Hammers as they sit in 14th.
Here is some reaction from the match:
West Ham boss Sam Allardyce:
“City were very, very good. Because they were so good we could not get near our best.
“The lads had a right go after going 2-0 down. Before that, we were nowhere near our best. We had to be at our best, and they had to have an off day, for us to beat them.
“For the size, power and money they have, we could not live with them today. It showed at times.
“We could have felt sorry for ourselves and lost 4-0, but we made a spirited comeback. We did not find the form we had at Tottenham.
“It did not work today. The lads did not apply themselves as well.”
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini:
“Winning the game was the most important thing for us. We played very well, and the best player for West Ham was their goalkeeper.
“We played as well as we did against Aston Villa [when City lost 3-2]. Someone asked me if I needed to change the way we played away, and I do not think so.
“This team should always play in attacking way because of the players we have.
“We were absolutely sure playing the way we were, we would win away. We lost against Cardiff and Aston Villa, but football is like that.”
