Erling Haaland has scored nine goals against West Ham United for Manchester City, all coming in the Premier League. The striker has only scored more goals against RB Leipzig (12) in his top-flight club career in all competitions.
Four of Savinho's five Premier League assists this season have been for Erling Haaland, the joint-most from one player to another in the competition this term.
Image source, Getty ImagesManchester City boss Pep Guardiola has been speaking to BBC Match of the Day following the win: "It is happier to win but we are still not like we were, for different reasons. The result will help. We struggled, but it is a relief.
"There were glimpses of brilliance. The work ethic was unbelievable, but still not the composure. We accelerate everything.
"We have struggled with results recently but the last two victories are good and we did not lose for three games.
"I would say a month and half [of poor form] compared to eight years is not bad."
On Savinho: "He was brilliant. He is one of the few players that is fresh."
On having the clinical touch: "Absolutely. We were lucky with the first goal. They were better in the first minutes, we could have gone 0-1 or 0-2.
"The second goal helped us. It was an incredible goal but we are still not like we were."
Image source, Getty ImagesManchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne has been speaking to Sky Sports about the home win: "It is a little step. In moments we played good but I think it was much better against Leicester. We lost some energy but there were some improvements, so that is alright."
On the supporters being nervous: "I don't know why. I can understand that we are not up to the level, but they should support us because the effort is there and we are still winning 4-1.
"I don't understand what is happening. The team gave maximum effort. The level has to be higher, but we understand that."
On their form improving: "We understand a bit more what we have done in the last 10 years and how hard it is. At the moment, we are a bit below that. We are working really hard and the team is coming back fitness wise.
"There were moments we played well, other moments less. It is a bit of an improvement but we understand it still has to be better.
"You don't put yourself down too much. We have not been at the level this year. Everybody said: 'City are winning all the time, it must be easy' - but it's not."
On speculation around his future: "I don't care. I'm just trying to get back to my level. I feel every week I am getting better. I can play for 90 minutes now. It has been an uncomfortable couple of months with the injury."

Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against a variety of guests.
For week 20, he takes on The Zutons frontman Dave McCabe, who supports Liverpool.
Sutton's prediction: 2-0
Jarrod Bowen's injury is a huge blow for West Ham because he has been their best player this season. I thought the Hammers' displays were picking up, but then they got absolutely demolished by Liverpool.
So, this feels like a good time for Manchester City to play them as they look to build on their win at Leicester.
That was not a particularly pretty performance but that part does not matter for Pep Guardiola's side at the moment.
It is all about taking small steps for City as they try to find some form again, so it was important for them to see Erling Haaland back on the scoresheet against the Foxes, and to keep their first clean sheet in five games.
This game might be a similar story in that City will have to scrap a bit, but again I expect them to get the job done.
McCabe's prediction: 3-0
We played West Ham the other day, and they weren't very good.
As we enter a new calendar year and the halfway point of the season, the Opta Supercomputer has been busy making its predictions.
But who has the best chance of securing Champions League football next season?
With England given a 97.8% chance of finishing in the top two of Uefa's coefficients rankings and receiving a bonus place in next season's competition, it is highly likely to be a race to finish in the top five of the Premier League this campaign.
One team essentially guaranteed a Champions League spot season, according to the Supercomputer's simulations, is high-flying league leaders Liverpool (100%).
Following closely on their heels are Arsenal and Chelsea, who occupy second and fourthgoing into this weekend's fixtures, with a 99.8% and 91.7% chance of finishing in the top five respectively.
Despite their unprecedented drop-off in form over the past two months, Manchester City fans will be pleased to hear Opta still gives them a 89.1% chance of clinching the potential final Champions League spot next season.
It then becomes a hotly fought battle between two of the most in-form teams in the league right now.
Despite third-placed Nottingham Forest's incredible campaign so far, Nuno Espirito Santo's side still fall below Newcastle United in the predictions for fifth place - with a 33.6% chance compared to the Magpies' 44.6%.
Four teams still have an outside chance of getting that coveted spot, with Aston Villa (13.8%), Bournemouth (9.8%), Fulham (6.2%) and Tottenham (5.4%) in the race.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against West Ham (kick-off 15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
It will be a similar squad to the one that won at Leicester City with the bonus of Ederson who Guardiola expects to be available having trained this week.
Centre-back Ruben Dias "is getting closer" to a return but Saturday's game comes too soon.
He said the win over Leicester was "good for the mood" but added: "We are away from being consistent with results. We have another chance to get a victory [against West Ham], which will help in the future."
On Savinho's confidence being boosted by his first goal for the club: "It is going to help. He is so young and it is his first season in England. I think he has played well but as he is so young, there are many things he can improve."
He also said James McAtee's performance against the Foxes made him "believe that he should have more minutes" going forward. Guardiola added: "I have big respect for how he behaves in the locker room."
On the possibility of January signings at City: "I don't know right now. Maybe we will sign or maybe we won't sign anyone. The club has to be wise. To add players in the situation that we are in, when there are many consistent injured players, then the club has to do it but I don't know if it will be possible."
On Rodri's comments about aiming to be back before the end of the season: "Before the end of the season would be good but the target is for him to recover well and be ready for next season."
He said it is not his business when asked about a possible contract extension for Kevin de Bruyne.
In response to whether the playmaker needs to get back to a consistent level of fitness in order for a contract to be offered: "He's had problems in the last year and a half like many players, but when he is consistent and fit he is a really important player for us. A decisive player for us. But it is about how he is going to perform for us until the end of the season, the club, his age and many other things, so I think the club has to think about it."

Image source, Getty ImagesReal Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi is only behind Rodri when it comes to the best holding midfielders in the world, according to Spanish football expert Guillem Balague.
Liverpool came close to signing the 25-year-old European Championship winner in the summer but the deal never came to fruition.
With 2024 Ballon d'Or winner Rodri out for the season through injury, Manchester City are also understood to have an interest in the Spain international.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Euro Leagues podcast, Balague said: "Zumbimendi is perhaps, after Rodri, the best holding midfielder in world. That is what Liverpool decided, having gone through a lot of algorithms and numbers and knowing of his personality. Barcelona also wanted him.
"I have been told that everything was done with Liverpool, absolutely everything, and then he personally decided not to move to England. At Real Sociedad, you have to be seen to be saying 'no' at least once. But three months into the season I think he was like 'I am ready to go'.
"So when Manchester City want to look for a replacement for Rodri or someone to challenge him - I'm not sure they will do that having the first and second best in the world - but that is the guy to look for. Barcelona would like him but don't have the money, but I think he is absolutely ready to move now."
When asked why he feels Zubimendi is second to Rodri in that position, Balague replied: "It is about your understanding of it [the game] - how you limit your weaknesses.
"He is perhaps not the strongest or the fastest but [it is about] how he reads the game, how he identifies where the pressure has to go and how he leads the team."

Image source, Getty ImagesManchester City are set to recall Issa Kabore from his loan spell with Benfica.
Kabore has never played a first-team game for Pep Guardiola's side, since joining the club from Belgian outfit Mechelen in 2020.
The Benfica switch was his fifth loan spell during his time at City and followed on from an impressive spell with Luton Town, where he made 24 Premier League appearances last term.
However, the Burkina Faso defender has made just three substitute appearances, totalling 11 minutes, for the Lisbon giants in the Primeira Liga this season.
Kabore's contract expires in 2027 and it is anticipated the 23-year-old will complete another loan switch before the transfer window closes.
Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked what Manchester City's New Year resolutions should be.
Here are some of your replies:
Nick: A holding midfielder has to be the number one priority. However good Kovacic is, he is always ahead of the ball on any breaks and doesn't have the positional sense required. A couple of full-backs including a specialist left-back would be nice and some support in the striking department as well. If I am being greedy, the club also needs a new number one keeper.
Roger: City need to take a deep breath and admit that a re-think is needed at all levels. Recruitment, tactics and training. In Pep we have the world's best coach but he does have the Achilles heel of stubbornness and it can cause resentment to both players and fans alike.
Jeff: First, we need to stop being so easy to play through. If that can be achieved we should find a way to attack that doesn't just involve passing the ball around the opposition box and inviting a breakaway.
Aaryan: Give Jack Grealish more game time - this is his year in 2025. Give Ederson back his confidence and he will be the best.
Peter: City are so feeble in challenges, some players don't even look as though they even want to win the ball. Dangling a leg out is never going to win anything. We need players with some bite and determination and we have very few at the moment. Some new players with attitude are needed.
Johnny: Keep the faith in Pep and the good times will return.

Image source, Getty ImagesIt has been another entertaining year in the Premier League, so with 2025 just a matter of hours away let's take a look at the clubs that have topped the charts.
Manchester City became history makers in 2024 as they sealed their fourth successive Premier League title in May and their sixth in seven seasons.
Pep Guardiola's possession based football continued to dominate as they maintained the ball for an average of 64.5% per game and had a 90.6% passing accuracy over the year.
Brighton were the closest to matching their accuracy at 87.5% and Ange Postecoglou's similar high-risk football saw Tottenham retain 61.3% possession.
Under Jurgen Klopp and new head coach Arne Slot, Liverpool scored 92 goals in 2024 which is three more than Arsenal and nine greater than City.
The Reds registered 741 shots in total, which is a stark contrast to Leicester City who recorded the least with 170. Albeit that is only since their promotion back to the top-flight in the summer.
Of those shots, 286 of Liverpool's were on target. But it is Thomas Frank's Brentford that have proven to be the most clinical.
The Bees had a conversion rare of 15.3% after scoring 62 goals in the Premier League. Yoane Wissa found the back of the net 17 times, while Bryan Mbuemo registered 12 goals.
From goal scoring to conceding - West Ham turned over the most goals with 79.
They should look to North London for tips on how to tighten up their defence as Arsenal proved to be the most solid across all aspects of their back line.
The Gunners conceded just 25 goals across the course of the year and kept an impressive 18 clean sheets.
Sean Dyche's Everton, renowned for being stubborn to break down, kept 14 clean sheets despite only winning eight of their 36 games.
