Following his goal and assist last weekend against Leicester, Savinho continued his recent form as his driven cross deflected off West Ham defender Vladimir Coufal and into the net to hand us the lead after just 10 minutes.

Shortly before the interval, the winger set up our second of the afternoon, turning Coufal inside and out before delivering a looping cross to the back post, where Haaland coolly headed in, claiming his 45th Premier League goal at the Etihad Stadium in just 44 appearances.
He didn’t need to wait long for his 46th, as Savinho‘s perfectly timed and weighted pass put the Norwegian through on goal to expertly dink in our third, making him the third highest goalscorer at the Etihad.
Three minutes later, Phil Foden made it four with a composed finish after being played through by Kevin De Bruyne, as the Belgian did what he does best by assisting a goal on his 400th appearance for City.

The visitors pulled one back with just under 20 minutes left to play through a sweeping finish by Niclas Fullkrug.
However, Pep Guardiola‘s men remained focused to claim all three points and kick-off 2025 with a victory!
