City use comfortable West Ham win to work on training drills

WEST HAM have 43 goals this season. Champions Manchester City have scored 43 in the first-half of games alone. It’s a highlight on the gulf of class between the two sides.

As the Hammers sleepwalk their way to Premier League survival, City are running laps on the rest of the league as they continue dazzling their way past all opposition put in front of them.

Yesterday was no different. City ran out 4-1 winners in London in what was a glorified training session for the Premier League champions. A drill on attacking down the right flank and cutting the ball back for oncoming players to strike the back of the net. Three of the four goals came via this route.
