Haaland opened the scoring in the fifth minute, converting a rebound after Alphonse Areola parried Phil Foden's initial delivery. The Norwegian striker made no mistake with his second chance, firing home past the West Ham goalkeeper. Reijnders doubled City's lead in the 38th minute, finishing a well-worked move with a shot that beat Areola. Haaland completed his double in the 69th minute, tapping home an easy finish after some poor defending from West Ham.
Pep Guardiola's side dominated possession and created numerous chances, but West Ham's defense held firm until Haaland's second goal sealed the win. The victory takes City to the top of the Premier League table, temporarily displacing Arsenal.
