Manchester City's 100 percent start to the 2015-16 Premier League season came to a shock end as West Ham United won 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium.
Having won their opening five matches of the campaign without conceding a goal, City were stunned by a West Ham team who have also triumphed at Arsenal and Liverpool this term.
West Ham took a surprise lead on six minutes when Victor Moses, on loan from Chelsea, received the ball from Dimitri Payet before thumping in a low shot past goalkeeper Joe Hart from around 25 yards out.
Slaven Bilic's Hammers doubled their lead on 31 minutes when Diafra Sakho bundled the ball home from close range after City's defence failed to deal with a corner.
City pulled a goal back just before half-time when Kevin De Bruyne scored his first City goal since his £54 million transfer from Wolfsburg, the Belgium international driving low from outside the area
But Manuel Pellegrini's league leaders were unable to find an equaliser as the Hammers stayed strong at the back, with goalkeeper Adrian particularly impressive.
