Let's finish up with the reaction from the early kick-off...

You can hear the frustration from the fans at half-time towards the referee.

Despite the score, Man City have given more balls away than they should have and you can see that frustration bubbling out in the players. West Ham are no competition however.

A game of very little note, apart from Jose Sa's save to thwart Keane Lewis-Potter.

Brentford have grown into it and finished the half much stronger.

Wolves are seeking a breakthrough which would stop them equalling the longest winless start in the Premier League [17] but they are just not creating anything.

Goalless at the break.

The sort of game you wish you'd squeezed in a bit more Christmas shopping time in instead.

Let's pretend that half of football never happened.

Keane Lewis-Potter's 39th minute strike for Brentford was the only effort on target in the first half.

Things can only get better, right?

A chance for Brighton right at the end of the first half.

A header is played into the path of Yankuba Minteh but he makes a mess of the finish. It looked like it hit his knee before he had a go.

A finish that sums up the first half.

Pep Guardiola not happy to hear the half-time whistle with his side on the attack but he will be happy with the two-goal lead.

City well on top in the opening 45.

Wolves forward Hwang Hee-Chan is booked for a reckless foul, as is Brentford's Michael Kayode for calling for a yellow card.

It's a great cross. It's the first time we've seen Minteh in that position. It's a delicious cross with the outside of his left foot and there's nobody there.

The best attacking move of the match for Brighton. The only attacking move, really.

Cherki's feet to create the opportunity... Wow.

He seems like he is going from strength to strength in a City shirt and in the Premier League. He is just starting to express himself and it's a wonderful sight.

A poor back pass almost lets Sunderland in but Bart Verbruggen is alert to the danger before another chance for the visitors but Brian Brobbey's attempt is blocked.

Fer Lopez looks to be in on goal as a long ball catches out Rico Henry, but Brentford goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher is quick off his line to batt the ball away.

Jaidon Anthony thinks he has a goal against his former club as he taps in a cross from Josh Laurent, but Laurent was offside.

VAR will check this, however.

There's a Christmas-themed joke in all this somewhere about Tijjani Reijnders.

A gift from City's Christmas Reijn-deer? Blitzen-ed into the back of the net?

Help me out.

Quality goal from Tijjani Reijnders. He has got his reward in brilliant fashion.

Man City are able to raise the tempo in the penalty box. Every time West Ham think they have won the ball back, City manage to press them to win possession.

Jose Sa is in for his first start Premier League start since September and proved he has not lost any sharpness to deny Keane Lewis-Potter.

The first chance of note and a warning for Wolves who are struggling to create anything themselves.

Nedum Onuoha
Former Manchester City defender on Final Score

Outrageous goal.

Cherki has intercepted it, done an Iniesta-like move, plays it to Haaland who then plays it to Reijinders and then bang into the roof of the net. It's very much what they deserve.
