Haaland brace downs Hammers and gives  Guardiola's men glimmer of hope

The joint-biggest win of this so-far worrying season for the defending champions also featured a goal from Phil Foden, just his second in the league, and saw them record consecutive league wins for the first time since October.

RESURGENCE: Manchester City's Erling Haaland scores their side's second goal of the game.

Premier League: Man City 4 West Ham 1 

ERLING Haaland’s two goals made it 16 for the season for the Manchester City striker and offered Pep Guardiola’s side some glimmer of hope as he enters a new year.
