Man City maintain lead at top with late goals at West Ham as Spurs grab last-gasp win

Manchester City grabbed two late goals to clinch a 3-1 victory against battling West Ham at the London Stadium and maintain their lead at top of the Premier League.

James Ward-Prowse had put the Hammers in front against the run of play with a diving header from Vladimir Coufal's cross late in the first half before Jeremy Doku scored his first goal for City just after the interval to level the scores.

Then Bernardo Silva got the champions' noses in front on 76 minutes after collecting a brilliant looping pass from Julian Alvarez before tucking the ball calmly past the onrushing Alphonse Areola.

Erling Haaland, inevitably, wrapped things up for City with a well-taken finish as West Ham pushed for an equaliser.

The result meant a first defeat of the season for David Moyes's side. It keeps up City's perfect start to the season, with 15 points from five games, and maintains the two-point lead for Pep Guardiola's side over rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool, who both won on Saturday, at the top of the Premier League.

Guardiola said after the match:"All game we played a fantastic game. Even when we were losing at half-time against an incredible side who is very good at set-pieces. We were efficient, we were patient in the second-half. It was a big win after the international break. The team showed good spirit to survive."

On Doku's first goal, in his second appearance for the club, he said: "I would say that the first game he was shy and today he was not, it was an unbelievable game. He was a proper winger, have the ball, have the ability to go one against one. Not just that, he has the quality to read when to make the pass for the next player. I was very happy, it was a very good performance from Jeremy."
