Match Events
Sergio Aguero's 59th-minute penalty earned Manchester City their fourth successive Premier League win as they beat West Ham 1-0 to remain one point behind leaders Liverpool.
Having beaten Chelsea on penalties in Sunday's EFL Cup final at Wembley, quadruple-seeking City were not at their usual brilliant best against a West Ham side led by their former manager Manuel Pellegrini.
David Silva hit the post early on but it was substitute Bernardo Silva who came off the bench to win a spot-kick that Aguero converted by sending Lukasz Fabianski the wrong way.
Liverpool's 5-0 victory over Watford at Anfield may have been more emphatic, but City got a result that means they can at least temporarily return to the summit at the weekend as they play before their title rivals.
5' OFF THE POST! City nearly take the lead
De Bruyne collects Mahrez's pass down the right, and his cut-back finds David Silva from point-blank range but his effort cannons off the post!
50' GREAT SAVE! Ederson denies Carroll's shot
Carroll forces Ederson to get two gloves on this to palm the shot to safety! Almost the ultimate smash and grab for West Ham!
59' Penalty Goal! Man City 1-0 West Ham (Aguero)
Bernardo Silva has had an immediate impact as it is Felipe Anderson who gets the wrong side, sticking a leg out to haul him down.
Sergio Aguero steps up and finds the bottom corner - that same corner that saw Kepa dive over the ball - but Fabianski dives the other way.
77' CHANCE! Sterling's shot wide out
Sterling slides his shot to the right of Fabianski's post! Fredericks did well to put the England international under enough pressure to rush his effort.
