5. West Ham 1-0 Man City – 1 March 2009

5 west ham cityGianfranco Zola’s West Ham beat big-spending Manchester City to rise to seventh in the Premier League thanks to Jack Collison’s controlled finish.

City’s side featured big names in Vincent Kompany, Nigel de Jong and Robinho but it was West Ham who controlled most of the play and three points was certainly deserved. The best chances of the match both fell to Robinho.

The Brazilian somehow poked wide from three yards following build-up play from Bellamy and Ireland having already seen a cheeky close-range flick acrobatically parried away by the superb Robert Green.

Then West Ham made City rue their missed chances; record signing Savio cut inside and his shot forced Shay Given to push the ball away but it fell right into the path of Jack Collison who looped a side footed volley over the scrambling ‘keeper to secure all three points.
