Manchester City won against West Ham United 4-1 with Haaland scoring twice. Newcastle United defeated Tottenham Hotspur with another convincing victory.
Erling Haaland scored twice as Manchester City pummeled West Ham 4-1 in the Premier League on Saturday while in-form Newcastle inflicted another painful defeat on Ange Postecoglou’s struggling Tottenham. Chelsea’s recent woes continued with a 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace, meaning they have taken just two points from four games over the festive period.
Defending champions City beat Leicester last week for just their second win in 14 games but they have now won successive matches for the first time since October and Pep Guardiola will hope they have turned the corner. The home side took the lead in the 10th minute when West Ham’s Vladimir Coufal deflected City winger Savinho’s cross past goalkeeper Alphonse Areola. City tightened their grip three minutes before the break when Haaland headed home at the back post from Savinho’s deep cross. The Norwegian claimed his second 10 minutes after the interval, dinking the ball over Areola after a fine pass from Savinho, to take his league haul to 16 goals, one behind Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah. Phil Foden made it 4-0 before Niclas Fuellkrug grabbed a consolation for Julen Lopetegui’s men, who suffered a 5-0 mauling by Premier League leaders Liverpool last week. Despite their shocking run of results, sixth-placed City are just two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.“We have struggled with results recently but the last two victories are good and we did not lose for three,” he told the BBC.– ‘Angriest in career’ – In the early kick-off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Newcastle came from behind to clinch a fifth straight Premier League win and heap more misery on injury-hit Spur
