Malik Ouzia reflects on the Hammers' efforts at the London Stadium.In a clash of two European champions of sorts, Manchester City preserved the status quo and their perfect start to the Premier League season with a 3-1 victory over an impressive West Ham.Goals in the final quarter-of-an-hour from Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland saw the Champions League winners come from behind to stay top of the division after Jeremy Doku’s curler had cancelled out James Ward-Prowse’s opener for the home side, whose own unbeaten start to the campaign was brought to an end.

00:00 Well, I'm outside the London Stadium where West Ham's unbeaten start to the Premier League season has just come to an end.
00:05 But plenty of positives for David Moyes to take for the way his side went toe-to-toe with Manchester City for the best part of, what, 70 minutes here today.
00:12 They went 1-0 up through James Ward-Prouse's goal.
00:14 His brilliant start to life in a West Ham shirt continues.
00:17 Jeremy Docker equalised just seconds after half-time, but really West Ham had chances to retake the lead in goal.
00:24 Alphonse Arriola was fantastic for them.
00:26 There were a couple of goal-line clearances as well from Csucek.
00:28 And again, in the end, City's firepower just told really.
00:31 Bernardo Silva and then inevitably Erling Haaland striking late on.
00:35 But as I say, plenty for West Ham to take from what has still been a fantastic start to the season.
00:40 Keep the momentum rolling and, of course, the excitement around another European campaign which gets underway here on Thursday.
