The adverse conditions and lengthy half-time break prevented a free-flowing second half but City kept West Ham at arm’s length throughout before wrapping the victory when substitute Fernandinho scored (90) with one of his first touches within three minutes of coming on.
West Ham, who fell to back-to-back Premier League defeats for the first time since April, had the final word when Manuel Lanzini rifled a stunning effort in off the post (90+4), but it was mere consolation on a day when the champions' quality and the conditions frustrated David Moyes’ side.
“I think the groundkeepers, the men who took care of the pitch, were the men of the match,” said City boss Pep Guardiola. “They did an incredible job so we could play the game today.”
City’s fifth consecutive victory in all competitions lifts them to second in the Premier League, level with leaders Chelsea on 29 points, while West Ham remain six points further back in fourth. (Sky Sports)
