Man City player ratings vs West Ham as Savinho and Erling Haaland star but one 5/10

Manchester City overcame a few wobbles to beat West Ham 4-1 at the Etihad Stadium.

The visitors caused plenty of problems with a pacy attack but Savinho put City on the front foot by forcing a deflected opening goal in the 10th minute and he continued that momentum. Two goals set up for Erling Haaland either side of half-time made the game safe and Phil Foden added some gloss to the scoreline.

Niclas Fullkrug wiped out the City clean sheet and West Ham finished stronger, but the Blues picked up the win. Here are how the players rated.

Foden: A goal to put some shine on another mixed performance. Some lovely movements and passes, some wayward stuff too. 6

Savinho: The star of the show with two assists for Haaland after he forced the
