Manchester City vs. West Ham United: Live Player Ratings for City

An irresistible performance from Manchester City sees the second-place Premier League side 6-0 up on aggregate in this Capital One Cup semifinal following the first leg at Etihad Stadium.

Opponents West Ham United offered very little over the first 90 minutes of the tie, and if anything they merely served as the backdrop for a memorable performance from the hosts.

Alvaro Negredo bagged a hat-trick, Edin Dzeko scored twice and Yaya Toure also found the back of the net for Manuel Pellegrini’s men, who have an unassailable advantage ahead of their trip to Upton Park later this month.
