00:00So to produce from those areas means that you're always in the wrong position.
00:04Pakatel was caught on it and Haaland is through!
00:07And Haaland rolls the champions ahead again!
00:13Relentless force that he is.
00:20Manchester City goal number 95.
00:25On the very turf where he scored numbers 1 and 2.
00:31It's hard enough to beat Manchester City when you're playing your best football.
00:35When you do this sort of thing.
00:39He looks complacent in the first touch. The second touch shows that.
00:45And it's such a quick turnover.
00:48Poor touch there allows Bernardo Silva to nip in and play with his head up.
00:53Makes that picture really quickly Bernardo Silva because he plays with his head up.
00:57It's a lovely ball into Haaland. He's alert and sharp.
01:01Reacts, moves into that space.
01:03With West Ham being exposed defensively.
01:06And it's a finish we've seen so many times.
01:13Touch of the ball for West Ham.
01:16Touch for Bowen.
01:19And Bowen drives it in! Come on Dears!
01:22And West Ham from nowhere are level.
01:27That is the ultimate out of the blue goal.
01:32For those in Claritin blue.
01:36Somehow it's one each.
01:39This all starts from Mohamed Koumet Koudas in midfield.
01:42He plays on the left side but he came all the way over to the right side.
01:46To pick the ball up and break the City lines.
01:52You see him there just picking the ball up there.
01:54That ball's a lovely ball. It takes out two City players.
01:58Frees Pak Tata.
02:00Playing to Bowen and then this is just good fortune.
02:03Crossing the ball. It's a decent ball in.
02:07I think it would have been blocked on its way across the goal.
02:09It wasn't the most powerful cross.
02:13But it's a massive deflection that draws West Ham level.
02:18Isn't it just crazy how football so often makes no sense at all.
02:36Seven and a half playing hours in their troubles in the Premier League without conceding.
02:41The precision, the intricacy of the passing that went before is one thing.
03:03The simple force of the strike is quite another.
03:07And City re-establish their lead.
03:12They've given too much time on the edge of the penalty area here in Manchester City.
03:17Grealish again who's had an excellent first half.
03:19Playing that ball we've seen it so many times.
03:21An easy pass into somebody in the West Ham penalty area.
03:26And there's a lovely again little triangle on the edge of the box.
03:29Bernardo Silva back to Kovacic.
03:31Rico Lewis out to Erling Haaland and then pure power in this strike.
03:36Lovely touch inside onto his left foot.
03:39And then the whip and the pace.
