Manchester City defeated West Ham 2-0 at the London Stadium on Sunday to kick off the defence of their Premier League title in ideal fashion.
Erling Haaland scored both of the goals on his Premier League debut, with a strike in either half.
City dominated the early parts of the game as they gradually looked to break West Ham down, with Haaland eventually being the architect.
The first goal came from the spot, a penalty that Haaland himself had won by beating Alphonse Areola to the ball. He picked up the ball and calmly slotted it into the corner for his first Premier League goal.
In the second half, Kevin De Bruyne waved his wand and produced a perfect through ball that took advantage of the Norwegian's pace. The striker didn't even need to take a touch - he simply opened his body and curled the ball around the onrushing Areola to seal the points for his side.
Haaland constantly looked hungry for more and came close to his hat-trick goal when he met Jack Grealish's cross from the left but his header was too strong and it flew over the bar.
It was a comfortable day's work for City at a place they only managed to draw towards the end of last season, and Pep Guardiola will be delighted with the result and performance.

Kind of reminds me of Lukaku's debut at Chelsea last time on his "second coming". He blazed two against Arsenal and the fans and media went haywire but then, three games later....the goals started to dry up! The rest is history. Food for thought.
