Bernardo Silva's first goal of the year kept Manchester City's winning Premier League campaign going.
Manchester City came back from being behind to defeat in-form West Ham and keep their winning streak in the Premier League alive thanks to goals from Jeremy Doku, Bernardo Silva, and Erling Haaland in the second half.
Contrary to the flow of play, James Ward-Prowse's diving header gave the Hammers the lead, but Doku's maiden City strike equalized the score 43 seconds after the break.
The West Ham defense was subsequently breached by a looping ball from Julian Alvarez, which Silva simply pushed beyond Alphonse Areola.
At London Stadium, Haaland, who had missed a number of prior chances, added the last goal with one of his signature finishes.
"All game we were fantastic, even when we were losing at half-time against an incredible side," City manager Pep Guardiola told BBC Sport. "We were efficient and patient in the second half.
"It was a big win after the international break. The team showed good spirit to survive."
West Ham slips to sixth place as a result of their first loss of the season, while City maintain a two-point lead over Tottenham and Liverpool at the top of the league.
