The tension was palpable at the Etihad Stadium as the teams took to the field, with City fans on the edge of their seats. The home side started strongly, with Kevin De Bruyne and Rodri controlling the midfield and creating chances for the attacking trio of Jack Grealish, Phil Foden, and Erling Haaland.

The breakthrough came in the 25th minute when Haaland latched onto a through ball and slotted past the West Ham goalkeeper. The Norwegian striker’s 36th goal of the season sent the City faithful into raptures, and the team never looked back.

West Ham pulled one back through a stunning strike from Declan Rice, but City’s response was swift and decisive. Grealish and Foden combined to set up Bernardo Silva, who curled a beautiful shot into the top corner to restore the two-goal advantage.
