Erling Haaland scored twice to help sixth-place Manchester City hammer West Ham United 4-1 in a Saturday English Premier League match, according to Anadolu Agency.

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are in a volatile season to bag their first back-to-back Premier League victories since October.

West Ham's Czech defender Vladimir Coufal scored an own goal in the 10th minute at the Etihad Stadium as Man City drew the first blood.

Before the break, hosts' Norwegian star Haaland scored a header in the far post after Savinho whipped a cross from the left flank. Man City led the first half 2-0.

In the minute 55, Haaland was on the scoresheet again as the 24-year-old calmly chipped the ball over the West Ham goalkeeper to make it 3-0. Savinho assisted him again with a clever pass.

Man City's Phil Foden scored his team's fourth goal after West Ham's Mohammed Kudus gifted the ball to Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne.

De Bruyne found his teammate Foden in the area as the English midfielder had an easy chance to put the ball into the net.

After 71 minutes, West Ham's German forward Niclas Fullkrug scored a consolation goal to name the result.

The large win saw Manchester City remain in the sixth position in the Premier League table with 34 points in 20 matches.

London's West Ham are on 23 points to be 13th.

Liverpool are on 45 points to be the Premier League leaders. The Reds, which have two games in hand, will host rivals Manchester United on Sunday.

Manchester United are in a disappointing season as they are 14th with 22 points.

Earlier Saturday, Tottenham Hotspur lost to Newcastle United 2-1 in a home match in London.

Dominic Solanke scored the opener for Tottenham but Newcastle came from behind after the first half goals scored by forwards Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak.

Newcastle are now fifth with 35 points.

Tottenham have 24 points to move down to the 12th spot in the league table.
