Gallery: City impress in Asia Tour opener

Manchester City began our Asia Tour in impressive fashion as we recorded a convincing 4-1 win over West Ham in our opening Premier League Asia Trophy clash.

Substitute Raheem Sterling scored a second half brace of goals following earlier efforts from skipper David Silva and Lukas Nmecha who registered a penalty.

All that came after West Ham had taken an early lead through a Mark Noble penalty. However, after that a youthful City side with summer signings Rodri and Angelino both included, produced a fine display.

The victory means we will meet Wolves, who earlier beat Newcastle 4-0, in Saturday’s final which will be staged in Shanghai.
