Erling Haaland scored twice and set up another goal as Manchester City secured a comfortable 3-0 win over West Ham United at the Etihad Stadium, extending their winning run in the Premier League to five matches.
Haaland opened the scoring after just five minutes, reacting quickest after his initial shot was blocked by Alphonse Areola to fire home with his left foot. The Norwegian then turned provider in the 34th minute, laying the ball off for Tijjani Reijnders to smash into the roof of the net from close range.
West Ham showed more urgency after the interval, with Crysencio Summerville and Freddie Potts forcing saves from Gianluigi Donnarumma, but Haaland sealed the victory in the 69th minute. After two West Ham defenders failed to clear, the striker pounced to rifle past Areola for his second goal of the evening.
The win puts pressure on league leaders Arsenal, while West Ham remain in the relegation zone after a sixth consecutive match without a victory.
