Manchester City has finally ended a frustrating 67-day wait for consecutive victories, following a commanding 4-1 win over West Ham in the Premier League. Pep Guardiola’s side had last won back-to-back matches in October, defeating Sparta Prague and Southampton during a period of dominant form. However, a surprising slump followed, with the reigning champions managing just one win in their next 14 matches across all competitions, raising concerns over Guardiola’s leadership.
The West Ham clash marked a turning point as Erling Haaland returned to form with a brace, after scoring only twice in his previous five appearances. Phil Foden also found the net, while an own goal contributed to City’s emphatic victory. Niclas Füllkrug scored the lone goal for West Ham.
This long-awaited resurgence not only secures City’s second consecutive win but also lifts them to 6th place in the Premier League table with 34 points from 20 matches. West Ham remains in 13th with 23 points.
With Guardiola previously never losing four straight matches in his coaching career, this victory signals a potential return to form for City as they aim to revive their title hopes.
