West Ham turned in one of their most impressive performances of the season but were still left reeling from a 4-1 defeat at the Etihad. Despite dominating much of the first half and creating 17 chances, the Hammers' defensive lapses allowed Manchester City to capitalise and punish them at crucial moments.
Niclas Füllkrug shone as a beacon of hope, scoring a well-taken goal from Tomas Souček's assist, while Crysencio Summerville and Lucas Paquetá offered moments of brilliance. But is it enough?
We break down the highs, lows, and what this defeat means for Julen Lopetegui's future as manager. Can he turn things around in the upcoming fixtures against Villa, Fulham, and Palace? Or does this result highlight a deeper issue?
