West Ham vs Man City LIVE: Premier League result and final score as Erling Haaland goals seal opening win

De Bruyne + Haaland x space = goals.

Wow - how on earth do you stop this?

Haaland makes it two for City with his second goal - and that should be the three points going back to Manchester.

With West Ham pushing forward, City counter and De Bruyne plays a sublime pass through the defence.

Haaland races onto it, bursting clear, before tucking the finish under Areola. Unreal.

63 mins: And a shot from West Ham! The Hammers are doing better now, although it wasn’t hard to improve. Fornals sees his shot saved by Ederson after Bowen was close to connecting to a cross from the right.

61 mins: Chance! Oh this should be it. Foden plays it wide to De Bruyne on the overlap and the Belgian’s ball is typically dangerous. It’s slid across the face, missing Haaland, while Gundogan arrives late to put it wide from the angle.

56 mins: Changes for West Ham: Gianluca Scamacca is on for his debut, replacing Antonio. Said Benrahma is on too as Lanzini makes way.

It’s helped liven West Ham up, while City have started making errors.

55 mins: Better from West Ham but City remind them of their threat. De Bruyne carries the ball forward and slips in Haaland, who feeds it on to Gundogan. The German tries to find Haaland again but West Ham clear.

53 mins: But a chance! Gundogan gives it away cheaply in the City half. Antonio moves it wide and although the cut-back from Fornals is behind Bowen, it breaks to Rice on the edge. He can’t keep his shot down, though. Gundogan’s challenge might have put him off.

49 mins: It remains very subdued at the London Stadium. City have this match in total control and West Ham know that the game could get take away from them if they open up too soon.

Basically, what Miguel has just said:

Back underway!

That’s better from Grealish, who runs at Rice and plays a smart one-two with Haaland. Rice steps across well to cut it out.

Lots of praise for Manchester City and their 80 percent of the ball. Gundogan’s smart turn and pass released Haalaand, and the striker’s acceleration has taken everyone by surprise. He was so fast over the first three or four yards.
