Best: Mahrez
The forward performed well, especially in the first half. He was required to create chances for City and a goal was not allowed and also hit goalkeeper Fabianski’s post.
Worst: Antonio
A reference in West Ham’s attack, Antonio produced little in this weekend’s game. On-field deliveries were not a problem, but that didn’t bother goalkeeper Ederson and when he got the opportunity, he didn’t take advantage in the first leg.
snow everywhere
Snow was a very visible character in this Sunday’s duel, as it constantly fell during the match and dominated the stadium lawn, thus being the opponent of the players. Nevertheless, the match remained busy thanks to the technical quality of both the teams.
started off hot
Both the teams knew that the match was of great importance (due to their close position in the table) and hence the match got off to a strong start for both the sides.

target, and canceled
On the 16th minute, City opened the scoring, but the goal was denied. Mahrez got a good pass and landed a cross kick and netted Fabianski. However, the assistant marked offside and VAR confirmed the attacker’s irregular position in the order.
It was worth it!
The cancellation of Mahrez’s goal did not discourage the Guardiola-led team, which maintained the intensity and control of the offensive. At 32 minutes, Gundogan took advantage of the Algerian striker’s shot and sent it behind goal, opening the scoring.
Almost from Jesus!
Minutes after the goal, Manchester came very close to extension, this time with Brazilian Gabriel Jesus. He kicked and the ball didn’t come in as West Ham defender Johnson took it over the line. Soon another big opportunity with Mahrez, who hit Fabiansky’s post.

goal with brazilian touch
In the final leg of the match, the hosts expanded with Fernandinho of Brazil, who had just joined. Assistance was provided by compatriot Gabriel Jesus.
