Manchester City are in front in East London after a dominant first half display at Upton Park.

City took the lead through Sergio Aguero’s fifth goal in his last five games, as the Argentine forward beat the offside trap and tucked his shot past Jussi Jaaskelainen in the 16th minute.

Many inside the stadium thought Aguero was offside, but the diminutive forward timed his run to perfection and slotted home coolly.

One extremely worrying stat for West Ham, is that in the last 30 PL games in which Aguero has scored, City haven’t lost.

Can the Hammers surge back in the second half? Or will Manuel Pellegrini’s Citry grab their first away win of the PL season?
