Manchester City 3-1 West Ham
By: Martin | September 29th, 2009It took only four minutes for Carlos Tevez to show Hammers fans how much we all wished he was still in Claret and Blue. Tevez side footed a simple goal to put City ahead and we all wondered if this was going to be a long Monday evening.
City continued to press forward with Tevez, Petrov and ex-Hammer Bellamy taking pot-shots at Rob Green. However, against the run of play Carlton Cole equalized with a wicked back-heal after Radoslav Kovac’s shot from an Alessandro Diamanti free-kick.
It looked as though City was on the back foot with Cole unlucky with a header from a Julien Faubert cross. But the luck is definitely not on the Hammer’s side this season and City was 2-1 up with a Petrov free-kick. But Zola’s boys should have been on equal terms with Scott Parker knocking a shot in, but the ref disallowed it for some infringement earlier in the move.
After the half, future superstar Alessandro Diamanti showed how good he is from set pieces with a curled corner that was just cleared by the city defense. After that the Hammers looked promising with a shot from Luis Jimenez and then Diamanti again. But the game took a turn for the worse when ex-Hammer Bellamy floated a free-kick into the area and there was Tevez to head in his second. After that a couple of efforts from Tomkins and Diamanti marked the end of the fight and the last ten minutes had City on the attack with little reply.
Perhaps we’ll have better luck on Sunday.
