Burnley beat West Ham 2-0 after Sean Dyche rings the changes

Burnley claimed three crucial points at Turf Moor

West Ham: A look back at 2018

Burnley rediscovered some of their old swagger as they brushed aside West Ham 2-0 to ease their relegation worries.

Chris Wood got his now customary strike against the Hammers before the outstanding 19-year-old Dwight McNeil bagged his first Premier League goal - both inside the opening 35 minutes.

Four days after they were thrashed 5-1 here by Everton, Burnley looked resolute at the back and confident going forward as they secured only their second win since the start of October, offering reminders of why they were playing their way into Europe this time last year.

Southampton 0-1 Manchester City

21 minutes

Lovely interplay between Danilo and Aguero on the edge of Southampton's box. It doesn't quite come off, but City are playing some excellent stuff.

Sean Dyche might have been aware of Chris Wood's record against West Ham when he picked him in the starting XI this afternoon:

Southampton 0-1 Manchester City

25 minutes

The home fans are voicing their frustration. Their side have been comprehensively outplayed so far, and there's little they can do to stop City in full flow.

Aguero, yards out from goal, very nearly makes it two, but he's denied by McCarthy.

Southampton 0-1 Manchester City

29 minutes

Ederson is unflappable. Danilo plays the ball into the goalkeeper, who controls under pressure and then beats Højbjerg with a dummy.

Southampton 0-1 Manchester City

32 minutes

A first spell of pressure for Southampton, who have improved over the last few minutes. They'd hardly been out of their own half before this, but they're forcing City into some defending now.

Aguero is in the book for a late challenge.

Southampton 0-1 Manchester City

33 minutes

A stunning save from Ederson, who gets down low and parries away Austin's header. Ward-Prowse has put in a couple of dangerous set pieces, and City look vulnerable to them.

GOAL! Burnley 2-0 West Ham (McNeil)

34 minutes

Burnley have capitalised on a sloppy first half from West Ham. Dwight McNeil, waiting at the back post, meets an excellent ball in from Ashley Westwood, sliding in to convert and double the hosts' lead.

GOAL! Southampton 1-1 Manchester City (Højbjerg)

37 minutes

City are caught out and Southampton equalise! Zinchenko dawdles on the ball, allowing Højbjerg to dispossess him. The midfielder drives forward and drills a powerful shot past Ederson. City need a response now.

Southampton 1-1 Manchester City

40 minutes

City had been dominant, seemingly back to their unplayable best. But Southampton have increased the pressure towards the end of the half and Guardiola's side have again succumbed to it. Their defensive issues will be a real concern for the Catalan coach.

Southampton 1-1 Manchester City

42 minutes

City attack for the first time in a while and Aguero, picked out by Silva, snatches at a shot, which trickles harmlessly wide.
