Manchester City produced another late show to equal the top flight record of 13 successive wins in a season with a 2-1 win over West Ham on Super Sunday.
City were met by a spirited Hammers performance that belied their lowly league position as Angelo Ogbonna headed the visitors deservedly ahead (44).
However, City stepped it up in the second period and peppered Adrian's goal, drawing level through Nicholas Otamendi (57) before finding the winner seven minutes from time through David Silva.
Pep Guardiola's men are eight points ahead of Manchester United in the title race, with the pair set to meet on Super Sunday next weekend while West Ham remain in the relegation zone after their worst start to a Premier League season.
There was an air of arrogance about City's build-up play in the early stages but without the intensity. West Ham - well organised without the ball - sensed the lack of spark in City's demeanour and created the better chances.
