Victor Moses and Diafra Sakho serve up shock to Manchester City

Sakho scored the decisive goal as the Hammers secured a 2-1 win at league leaders Manchester City on Saturday – his team’s third win out of three matches on the road this season.

Victor Moses, on loan from Chelsea, got the opener just six minutes in for the visitors.

And new signing Kevin de Bruyne says it is a game they simply “have” to win as they target success on all fronts.

This was the first points that City have dropped this season and the first goals they have conceded in the Premier League. “We know that this team are unsafe at set pieces and they scored one goal in a set piece”. A few reserve players started the match, but many first-team regulars were required for the comeback, including goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, Erik Lamela, Deli Alli, Toby Alderweireld, Heung and even Harry Kane who came into the game as a substitute and played 22 minutes. “We have to play 32 games more, 96 more points, so nobody can believe that”.

The Belgium worldwide picked up possession of the ball deep in West Ham’s half and after making space for himself, the midfielder beat Adrian with a well-struck shot from distance to bring the home side right back into the contest. City were also beaten 1-2 at home by Juventus in the Champions League last week.

Bilic told Sky Sports: “We deserved it for the way we played in the first half and the way we were fighting in the second half, but this was a different game to the ones at the Emirates or Anfield”. So we conceded twice against Juventus. “The only thing we have to do is score goals and then obviously, we can win the game”. Today it was exactly the same.

“There was one shot from the edge of the box, one corner”.

City playmaker David Silva didn’t play after feeling stiffness in his calf during the warm-up, meaning Jesus Navas moved into the starting lineup but produced an underwhelming display.

City threw everything into the game, got chance after chance but could not find a leveler.

Manchester City loss to West Ham put an end to the team’s unbeaten domestic record. Now, the player returns to the Premier League in a whopping 54 million pound deal for Manchester City.

Bilic said: “It is a surprise, let’s be honest”.

“This will do our confidence good but there is a tiny line between confidence and arrogance or between confidence and a little bit of laziness”.

“We know that in view of the potential going forward, we’re capable of scoring at any given moment”.
