Moses keen to build on City goal

But the hosts were unable to break down West Ham’s stubborn defence again.

Now the Citizens know what both are like, as West Ham went to Manchester and secured a stunning 2-1 win on Saturday afternoon.

And he insisted the absence of injured key players Vincent Kompany and David Silva could not be used as an excuse for defeat.

“It won’t stay like that, but especially in the beginning when you are desperate for the home win sometimes that pressure or rushing is your biggest enemy”.

Moses put the visitors ahead at the Etihad Stadium with a powerful 20-yard effort after just six minutes, while Sakho doubled their lead just past the half-hour mark. The shot was driven into the bottom right hand corner, past City goalkeeper Joe Hart. You can’t have more skilful people on the pitch than we have. We know there are going to be ups and downs-we’re not Real Madrid-but it is looking very good now.

They were 2-0 down in the 31st minute to a Diafra Sakho goal. “City, who lost David Silva to injury in the warm-up, reduced arrears through Kevin De Bruyne on his full debut and battered the West Ham goal in the second half, registering 26 shots on target”. I want to score more goals next week. “We had 27 attempts in the whole game and we only scored one goal”.

“It’s not the best way to start losing at home against a strong team but it doesn’t mean we won’t qualify, we have to play against Juventus there and another four games, and we’ll see which team has the most points at the end.”

According to Sky Sports, West Ham was able to have a heroic defensive performance against Man City.

West Ham travel to Old Trafford to face United on the first weekend in December, but will have to wait until March for their trip to the champions at Stamford Bridge.

Manchester City coach Manuel Pellegrini has reiterated that he has absolute trust in teen star Kelechi Iheanacho as he seeks for a record 12 Premier League wins in a row when they take on the in-form West Ham on Saturday.

These are their first dropped points and first goals allowed of the season. With the greatest respect to Liverpool and Arsenal, this team (City) are the best in the league.
