West Ham United fell to a narrow 1-0 defeat at title-chasing Manchester City on Wednesday night, when Sergio Aguero’s second half penalty proved the difference.
City bossed possession and had plenty of shots on the Hammers goal, but a valiant defensive effort threatened to frustrate the hosts until they made their breakthrough on the hour.
Before that, Andy Carroll went close with an effort on the stretch not long into the second period, but after registering a shot count of 20 to two, the home side would have counted themselves unfortunate had they not come away with all three points.
