Welp: De Bruyne On Target As City Lose At Home To Hammers

West Ham are now the only team this season to beat Arsenal (2-0), Liverpool(3-0) and Manchester City(1-2) all at home, emphatic!

Manchester City were quickly shocked after just six minutes when Victor Moses found space outside the penalty area and hit a’pinpoint drive which went past Joe Hart to make it 1-0 for West Ham.

Kevin De Bruyne scored at the end of the first half with a floor-bound curler, but despite constant pressure, City could not break through.

Despite the second-half onslaught, West Ham held firm to deny their hosts.

They righted the ship with a comfortable home win against Newcastle and will look to continue their away exploits against Manuel Pellegrini’s men on Saturday.

City’s last domestic defeat was at Manchester United on April 12 and it leaves Leicester City as the only Premier League side not to have lost this season. “So we conceded twice against Juventus [in a 2-1 loss in the Champions League], they had two shots and we conceded two goals”. In the second half, City created, they pressed us and they were the better team, to be fair, and if they had equalised it would have been deserved.

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

“In the last two games we didn’t play with the concentration or intensity we had shown in the first five games”.

The manner of a hard-fought victory will have to believe that Man City can go all the way this season, and reflecting on their momentum, it’s growing harder to disagree.

Kurt Zouma, a 40-1 chance, scored Chelsea’s first goal and the Gunners, who had Gabriel and Santi Cazorla sent off, are 11-2 to win the league.

The New Zealand worldwide , 27, made the most clearances (20) and interceptions (five) during the match, while he also won back possession for his side (nine) more than any other player.

The Chilean’s anger was evident when he snapped over an innocuous question about the nature of an injury to Eliaquim Mangala which had forced the City defender’s substitution at half-time.

“You can pretend that it is all good and cool – I like the fact that he [Manuel Pellegrini] said we are not going to talk about David Silva not playing and all those excuses”.

City were stunned by the way West Ham managed to hit them on the counter, despite being on the back foot for most of the game.
