Gabriel Jesus scored his first Manchester City
goal as they tore West Ham apart at London
Stadium.
City, who left striker Sergio Aguero and goalkeeper
Claudio Bravo on the bench, led when Kevin de
Bruyne played a one-two with Jesus before
stroking home.
Four minutes later, they doubled their lead when
the impressive Leroy Sane beat two defenders and
his deflected cross was tapped home by David
Silva.
And the game was as good as won before half-
time when Raheem Sterling squared the ball to
Jesus to tap home.
Yaya Toure added a fourth after the break from a
penalty when Hammers debutant Jose Fonte
brought down Sterling.
West Ham, who made errors to lose possession for
each of City's three first-half goals, have been
beaten heavily by City twice at home in 2017,
having lost 5-0 in their FA Cup meeting last
month.
City are now only behind fourth-placed Liverpool
on goal difference, 10 points behind leaders
Chelsea.
