City have a free-kick just outside the penalty box as James Garner barges over Phil Foden, who was in full flow.

Foden is on the ground in some pain. Garner is booked.

West Ham have come out with a bit more fight and Tomas Soucek heads just wide but the flag goes up as Manuel Lanzini, who put in the cross, was just offside.

Think I've just seen Jamie Tartt from Ted Lasso at Brentford. I'd fancy AFC Richmond against West Ham at the moment the way David Moyes' side have played so far.

Back under way in our two Premier League games.

Jon: Might be slightly harsh but there's got to be some criticism of Pickford on that second goal. A top keeper would have been better set for the header.

Everton bring on Neal Maupay, who has scored one goal all season, for Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has scored two goals all season, at half-time.

Those stats sum up Everton's season.

Neal Maupay is warming up on the pitch. He'll be coming on for Everton.

Erling Haaland has netted 36 Premier League goals this season. It is the most English top-flight goals a player has scored in a single season since 1966-67 (37 by Ron Davies for Southampton).

Pep Guardiola will be hoping for another goal so he can then maybe ring the changes in the second half. Everton need a goal back themselves. They need to be brave, they need to press City higher up. The crowd will get right behind the team if they do. It's stick or twist time for Everton.

To use a boxing term, I feel like Everton were trying to rope-a-dope. They were sat so deep. They allowed Manchester City to bring the pressure on and then tried to burst into life with a knockout blow on the counter-attack.

But Manchester City had a knockout blow of their own. They waited, they were patient, they moved the ball and then possessed real quality.

The first goal was an outstanding finish from an outstanding, intelligent player in Ilkay Gundogan - a brilliant touch, swivel and finish. And as Manchester City do when they're on top, they used that momentum to get the second goal.

Everton did well to stay in the game considering City could have scored a third on the stroke of half-time but it's time to regorup.

West Ham boss David Moyes has some strong options from off the bench that could change this game, will he turn to them early? There's also the big Europa Conference League semi-final with AZ Alkmaar on Thursday to consider.

Big decisions are made by managers at this stage of the season.

You wonder if Pep Guardiola will be considering some changes at the break. City face Real Madrid on Wednesday in a season-defining game.

A deserved lead for Brentford at the break.

Manchester City look like they could be heading four points clear at the top of the table thanks to Ilkay Gundogan's goal of the season contender and Erling Haaland's header.

Erling Haaland doesn't make proper contact with a header and then nobody can turn in a City cross. Everton need the half-time whistle.

Manchester City do know how to take games away from teams. It's up to Everton now to try to react in the way Leeds did at the Etihad last week, to try to stay in the game.

This has really come to life as half time approaches as now Aaron Hickey drives just wide from outside the box.

Everton have not had a shot on target so far in this game. A big defeat here would damage their goal difference.

West Ham almost respond immediately as Brentford switch off at the back and Danny Ings' snapshot is turned behind.

Pablo Fornals takes the corner but wastes it, sending it straight into the sidenetting.
