prior to this gargantuan Clash but now we need talk about it no more and instead focus on the here and now a match that has the capacity to delight and Dazzle no matter who you support two highlevel sides ready to go at it it's West Ham United they face Manchester City and it's live right here on EA TV and a warm welcome from one of the newer venues here in the football mad capital of England we're at the London Stadium I'm Derek Ray and sitting alongside me ready to provide all the technical and tactical analysis is Stuart Robson and looking forward to bringing you action from the Premier League coming right up it's West Ham United facing Manchester City real chance oh he saved it well No Nonsense clearance and a look at the West Ham 11 alfor arola begins in goal Vladimir foul starts and still a chance well it made their intentions clear here City they've started the game really well in these opening minutes and they've only been denied by a top class save by the goalkeeper playing with plenty of zest and energy on the front foot once more and a good challenge to bring that attack to an end Ward PR [Applause] kudus well great read there to [Applause] intercept danger here as he runs at them well it came to nothing in the end Ro to roam on the wing for West Ham oh surely and goal to give them the lead they have their reward well here's the replay and just look at his reaction to the initial shot he's so sharp he deserves that goal on they go again a wakeup call for the City players maybe can they find a response now Jack greish he could pick out a teammate trying his luck closing down well City need a boost will they get one from this corner put in by De BR half-hearted [Applause] clearance Bernardo Silva and the ball with de and he's making progress opportunity missed [Applause] [Applause] Vladimir sofal on the ball mavropanos Mohamed kudus and there will be a West Ham throw in Edson Alvarez it looks promising can he put it away oh he's missed but by a minuscule margin well he couldn't have made better contact than that his technique is brilliant he's so unlucky [Applause] there Kyle Walker Under Pressure here wonderful Challenge and a throw in coming up foden strong but fair [Applause] tackle and the referee playing Advantage Kur Zuma sofal [Applause] mavropanos this could be troublesome out of play for a Manchester City throw in well sensible refereeing you might say now he goes back and hands out the yellow card Stuart yeah that's very good he let the play continue and then came back for the earlier challenge greish now was Silva well that s to beat your opponent foden brilliantly blocked [Applause] might be a chance to break and just like that the Counterattack comes to an [Applause] end if you're wondering about stoppage time one minute to be added on they need to get tighter oh the threat is there and quick thinking defensively [Applause] and that brings to an end the first half here at the London [Applause] [Music] Stadium well part of the story [Applause] here so back in business West Ham with the lead here but this game far from being done and dusted [Applause] and the referee takes exception to the Challenge free [Applause] kick unable to get himself back on side here well he was always going to be offside that was the wrong option [Applause] [Applause] gardol Bernardo Silva the ball with rodri making a bit of Headway has eyes for goal terrific [Applause] save a very effective play and they might be on to something not the best Challenge free kick Emerson they saw the situation developing good high press the braining but he tried to put everything into the shot but couldn't find the target [Applause] and into the last 30 minutes now Ward [Applause] prous that's a foul and it will be a potentially dangerous free kick well the free kick needed to be a lot better than that straight into the wall long way out this well the shot looked promising but the keeper had the measure of [Applause] it a very good tackle Alex attacking possibilities for West Ham offside the decision [Applause] [Applause] rodri Phil foden now he's taking on his opponent here [Applause] and through for the goal kick he hit it with power a change in the offing for [Music] City and the upshot of that is offside well he needed to look elsewhere because the flag was always going to go up Manuel aangi de BR City moving the ball forwards what can they do from here oh dear not a great effort was [Applause] it and into the last 15 minutes of [Applause] action W prous well that's how to keep the opposition at [Applause] Bay Manchester City have work to do but is it going to happen for them spot on with that tackle Jared [Applause] boen on the cusp of the final whistle and they're making Home Advantage count but only just Stuart your thoughts well it's been a tight game but I think they've been the better team they've just had that little bit more quality certainly in attack and of course they've been well organized at the back they just need to see this through now good distribution de BR the ball with rodri what a magnificent pass nicely timed tackle and that is how to win the ball high up the pitch can he make it count oh he saved it well and still an opportunity but he took care of it defensively sub for Manchester City and Manchester City will go to their bench toed [Applause] [Music] [Applause] by and given away will it happen this time this could level it can they keep it out so that will do it for this game it is officially a final score now and West Ham get the win and the three points what did you think of their overall performance well Derek it was very competitive chances at both ends but I feel they were the better team and they did
