Manchester City continued their strong opening to the 2024–25 Premier League season with a 3–1 victory away to West Ham United on matchday three.
The champions-elect hopefuls travelled to London on 31 August and emerged with all three points after a controlled performance that saw them outscore the hosts by a two-goal margin. West Ham found the net once, but City’s superior firepower ensured the visitors kept their winning momentum intact early in the regular season.
The result leaves West Ham still searching for a statement result against the league’s elite, while Manchester City underline their status as one of the frontrunners in the title race. With the league table only beginning to take shape, this away success could prove valuable in what is expected to be another fiercely contested campaign.
