Red Star Belgrade faces Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, September 19, 2023 (9/19/23) at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, City.
LONDON — Manchester City needed two late goals to overcome resistance from West Ham and seal a 3-1 win at the London Stadium to stay top of the Premier League on Saturday.
Jeremy Doku, making just his second start, leveled with an expertly taken individual effort seconds after halftime, as City took charge of a difficult situation to send the hosts to their first defeat of the season and maintain their own perfect start. The hosts went close themselves when Jarrod Bowen’s corner was cleverly flicked on by Soucek at the near post and fractionally missed the head of Nayef Aguerd as he stole in to finish.
City’s response was swift and should have yielded an instant equalizer. Doku, looking to make amends, cut inside Coufal on the left and crossed along the ground for Haaland who failed to make good enough contact to sneak it past Aguerd who shoveled it off the goal line. Phil Foden struck left-footed from range but was denied by a crowd of claret and blue shirts as West Ham saw the half out.
Alvarez then hit the post from a free kick, Haaland volleyed left-footed from 10 yards after being teed up by Rodri’s exquisite chipped pass, with a strong right hand thrust into the air from Areola denying the visitors the lead. With 15 minutes to go, City led for the first time and it was the vision and touch of Alvarez that made it. He received the ball near the edge of the box from Silva, who dashed forward and was brilliantly picked out by Alvarez’s chip. Aguerd was inches from intercepting with his head, but it landed back with Silva who dinked it into the corner beyond Areola.
