Manuel Pellegrini’s men were in front after 18 minutes through a bizarre own goal from James Collins.

The Irons’ centre-back tried to hook out Jesus Navas’ cross but could only loop his sliced clearance over Adrian’s head and into his own net. The home side were two to the good, ten minutes before halftime when Sergio Aguero notched his 20th goal of the season.

West Ham have only won once in their last ten league games.
