78: Leroy Sane fires in another low cross and the ball falls to Sergio Aguero on the edge of the box who shoots but several West Ham bodies bravely get themselves in the way.
80: West Ham look very tired here. Manchester City continue to work the ball around them but for the Hammers sprints have turned into jogs as they try and see out these last ten minutes.
80: Pedro Obiang wins the ball and finds Michail Antonio in the left channel. He cuts inside and tests Ederson from range with a curling effort on his right foot.
GOAL!
Manchester City 2-1 West Ham
City have done it again. Kevin De Bruyne picks the ball up on the edge of the area and clips a pass to David Silva who escapes Declan Rice and diverts the ball beyond Adrian.
84: That goal means it's game over for Sergio Aguero, he is replaced by Fernandinho.
90: Marco Arnautovic beats Eliquim Mangala with ease on the right wing and produces a low cross to Diafra Sakho who curls an effort just wide. That was a big chance.
91: Leroy Sane is taken off, perhaps to see out some of the remaining time, and replaced by Bernardo Silva.
