Leroy Sane, Gabriel Jesus and Fernandinho were all on target as Premier League champions Manchester City swaggered to a 4-1 win at West Ham.
Leroy Sane’s 13th minute opener took a decisive deflection off Patrice Evra, whose belated home debut for David Moyes’ side was generally a torrid experience, and an unfortunate own goal for former City favourite Pablo Zabaleta brought up 100 league goals this season for Pep Guardiola’s men.
A touch of complacency crept into City’s work before half-time as Aaron Cresswell’s fine free-kick punished an error-strewn passage of play but they were rampant once more after the break.
Gabriel Jesus set in motion the move for his 12th top-flight goal of the campaign before fellow Brazil international Fernandinho got in on the act on his return from suspension.
Raheem Sterling ended the game with a trio of assists but snatched at a chance created by Ilkay Gundogan and Sane in the 20th minute, although the second arrived when the winger rounded Adrian and confusion followed.
