Rutinski, superiorno, dominantno, tako je Manchester City odradio utakmicu 26. kola protiv West Hama. Stroj Pepa Guardiole slomio je istočnolondonski klub s 2:0, golovima Rodrija u 30. minuti i Kevina De Bruynea u 62. minuti.
Međutim, valja istaknuti kako West Ham cijelu utakimicu nije mogao doći do daha. City je utakmicu završio sa 78 posto posjeda lopte u nogama i s čak 20 udaraca prema golu West Hama.
Isto tako, utakmicu je obilježilo i pomalo ružno ponašanje navijača na tribinama. Doduše, tribine Etihada su bile poluprazne, kao i uvijek, a navijači su slali poruke UEFA-i. Pozdizali su transparente s porukama na kojima stoji "UEFA Mafija" i "UEFA prevara".
