Manchester City staged a resounding comeback against West Ham to level the score 2-2 in the Premier League on Sunday. Jarrod Bowen's early exploits led West Ham to take a 2-0 lead by half-time. However, the Citizens pulled one back courtesy of Jack Grealish. Later, Vladimir Coufal's own goal brought City to level. Table-toppers City have extended a four-point lead over Liverpool.

Coufal then headed an own-goal for West Ham. Later, Riyad Mahrez missed a penalty. As per Squawka, it was his first miss in PL since October 2018 (against Liverpool).
