    GOAL - Man City 1-2 West Hampublished at 45 + 2

    Kevin De Bruyne (45 mins)

    Timing isn't it? 

    The £55m summer signing Kevin De Bruyne drives in from 20 yards after good work from Sergio Aguero on the right, which sees him take out three defenders with one pass.

    The Belgian takes one look up and fires in past Adrian for his first City goal on his first start.

    Man City 0-2 West Ham

    Sergio Aguero has yet another chance. This time the City striker balloons his shot over from Kevin De Bruyne's cross. It wasn't an easy chance to be fair. A quarter chance let's call it. 

    We are in stoppage time - four minutes of it.

    Man City 0-2 West Ham

    West Ham are through again! The brilliant Dmitri Payet plays a ball into the area which Diafra Sakho reads. This time Eliaqium Mangala is alert to the danger and makes a last-ditch tackle to deny Sakho.

    How much is this City defence worth?? They could have been three down!

    Sakho receives treatment after the challenge, but he's OK.

    Man City 0-2 West Ham

    Sergio Aguero is in again for City. This time Bacary Sagna plays in a low cross for the Argentine, who tries to flick the ball past keeper Adrian at the near post. 

    The ball comes backs to Aguero, who jabs the ball against Adrian's chest. It was never going to go in from that range, especially with the Hammers keep out so quickly to smother his effort.

    Man City 0-2 West Ham

    Hey, let's not have a pop at Jesus Navas too early. His shot has to be punched away by Adrian before Sergio Aguero curls a shot wide from 20 yards.

    St Chawal: This is an unbelievable Hammering at the Etihad! 

    Shohidur Rahman: This just illustrates how bad City's defence is without Kompany. Dreadful. 

    Femi John Atoyebi: Is Man City's impressive season about to implode?

    Aguero's through.....but he's offside and wellies the ball out of play. Some of you are saying that Samir Nasri should have started instead of Jesus Navas, who by the way was a late replacement for David Silva who was injured in the warm-up.

    If things continue like this then Nasri could be on earlier than expected after the break. City need something from someone.

    Rob Bown:  West Ham are already wasting time. This will cost them. 

    Elevat Politik:  West Ham are defending well, except Cresswell who seems scared stiff.

    Yullaw:  How on earth can Navas start ahead of Nasri?

    Diafra Sakho (31 mins)

    This is not going to script for City. They are staring at two home defeats on the trot, having lost to Juventus in midweek.

    This time it's Diafra Sakho who is allowed to break free to hook in from close range, after Winston Reid's nod down from a corner falls in his path.

    What now Manuel?

    Man City 0-1 West Ham

    West Ham are playing a good line at the back, although they are almost caught out by Raheem Sterling after a ball is threaded into the area. One to watch.

    Man City 0-1 West Ham

    The City players were probably shouting something other than "Jesus Navas" as the Spaniard failed to find any of his team-mates after finding himself on the right-hand side of the area. It's busy though in and around the Hammers area.

  12. YELLOW CARDpublished at 23 mins

    It's a yellow for Manuel Lanzini for a foul on City's Raheem Sterling. City have had 63% of the possession.

    At the other end, it's a West Ham corner. Another full debutant Nicolas Otamendi slides in to prevent Carl Jenkinson from crossing. The corner comes to nothing.

    Man City 0-1 West Ham

    That was close-ish. City's Kevin De Bruyne fires in a low flat cross from the right that almost reaches striker Sergio Aguero, but James Tomkins is on hand to swipe away. Last ditch stuff.

    Man City 0-1 West Ham

    There promises to be a nice little battle for superiority in midfield between West Ham's Dmitri Payet and City's Kevin De Bruyne.

    Payet has been quiet so far, while De Bruyne, making his first start, has yet to get into the game, much like his team-mates.

    It's keep-ball for City players as they give themselves time for the disbelief to seep out of their systems.

    Man City 0-1 West Ham

    Oh dear! Aaron Cresswell gives the ball away with a poor headed backpass. Sergio Aguero pounces, takes the ball past Adrian but slots well wide. Like, really wide. Admittedly, there were a couple of defenders covering, but still...

    Victor Moses (6 mins)

    Well. Erm... there you go. City have won their last seven games at home to the Hammers and are losing after six minutes. I wouldn't have bet on that.

    Victor Moses, who impressed against Newcastle on Monday, tries his luck from 20 yards with a shot that sneaks in inside Joe Hart's near post. I think the England keeper will be a little disappointed.

  20. SAVE!published at 5 mins

    Man City 0-0 West Ham

    Not a great save but a save nevertheless. Fernandinho leaps off an imaginary trampoline to get great height but heads his effort from the corner straight at Adrian.
