West Ham vs Man City LIVE: Premier League latest updates as Erling Haaland scores again

While there is only one goal in this contest, West Ham may feel they can snatch an improbable point. More than once, they've unpicked City on the counter, with Bowen and Kudus more than capable of punishing any more mistakes.

OFF THE POST! West Ham almost strike on the break again! A breathtaking surge upfield ends with Kudus sprinting into space, and after reaching the lef side of City's area, he lets fly with a thunderous strike. However, he looks up to see it bouncing back off the lef-hand upright! What a strike - so unlucky!

Alvarez concedes a free-kick for fouling Lewis, and after De Bruyne delivers it into the area, Grealish pulls the ball back across the six-yard box. After a brief scramble, West Ham manage to get the ball away.

Meeting a corner swung into the six-yard box from the left, Bernardo Silva spurns a good chance to find the target with a header and his looping effort sails over the crossbar. That was a presentable opportunity.

Doku tries to thread the ball through for a teammate with a pass from outside the box, but a West Ham defender clears the ball to safety. Already, the same pattern of play has been resumed: City are on top.

Having changed their goalkeeper at half-time, West Ham kick off. We are back under way in London!

Not only are Man City unbeaten throughout the last 20 Premier League games in which they've led at half-time, winning each of the last 11, but West Ham have won just one of their last eight after trailing at the break. That doesn't suggest that a comeback is on, but stranger things have happened in football.

Despite a half of near total dominance, Manchester City lead by just one goal at London Stadium, where hosts West Ham will probably be glad to only trail 2-1 at half-time. The Hammers started brightly, but Haaland clinically converted twice, either side of a Ruben Dias own-goal that was forced by Bowen on a rare counter-attack. Following his hat-trick last week, City's striker has been ruthless again, though they could've scored more given an xG of 2.11; West Ham's stands at just 0.05 so far. There have been few positives for Lopetegui to cling to, and turning things around against his old Barcelona teammate Guardiola truly represents a herculean task.
