Erling Haaland scored twice as Manchester City triumphed 4-1 over West Ham at the Etihad, securing back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time since October.
Haaland opened the scoring after Vladimir Coufal’s own goal, then added a second from a Savinho assist. Savinho, who also played a role in the first goal, set up Haaland’s second and created three chances in total. Phil Foden made it 4-0 after a defensive mistake, receiving a pass from Kevin De Bruyne on his 400th City appearance.
West Ham pulled one back when Niclas Fullkrug finished Tomas Soucek’s cross in the 71st minute. Despite West Ham's 17 shots, City’s clinical finishing and Haaland’s brace sealed the win, leaving them sixth, two points off the top four.
