West Ham 1 - 3 Man City
Manchester City served notice of their title ambitions by outclassing West Ham to move level on points with Arsenal at the top of the Premier League.City took a deserved lead when the superb Yaya Toure fired past Robert Green from Gareth Barry's cut-back.
And they made it two at a subdued Upton Park as Yaya Toure's shot hit a post and went in off Green's back.
Adam Johnson rounded Green to seal the points before James Tomkins headed a consolation for rock-bottom West Ham.
The result sees big-spending City leapfrog Chelsea and Manchester United to join Arsenal on 32 points, although the Gunners' goal difference is superior by five.
Chelsea will go top if they win at Tottenham on Sunday, while Arsenal and United have the chance to take pole position when they meet at Old Trafford on Monday.
West Ham, by contrast, stay bottom of the league on 12 points with only two wins all season.
