Torres tracks back brilliantly to slide in and win it for the hosts after West Ham had caused alarm bells to ring with a super counter attack.
63'
Not the 'back with a bang' impact Aguero would have hoped for on his first PL start since October, but there will no doubt be goals to come for the Argentine if he stays fit for the remainder of the season.

CITY CHANGE: Jesus on for Aguero.

Jesus is being readied by City. It looks like he's going to replace Aguero.
58'
CLOSE! KDB charges down the left. He skips a challenge and races to the left byline. He lays it into the six-yard box, but no City shirt can get there to apply a finish.
57'
De Bruyne tries a first-time shot on the stretch after a West Ham error on the left side of the area, but his shot is easily blocked. City continue to probe, but they are finding it difficult to break the Hammers down or create anything of note.
56'
DID YOU KNOW? Moyes has gone 40 Premier League away games without a win against established top-six sides. You have to go back to when his Everton team defeated Man City in December 2010 (D12, L28).
55'
Walker lets fly from 30 yards out but drags his effort well wide.
54'
How long until Pep turns to his star-studded bench? It's not really happening for the hosts right now.
52'
50'
Randolph used the check to speak to the West Ham physio. As a result, Moyes has sent David Martin to warm up.
49'
VAR does a quick check on Fernandinho's challenge on Lingard as he on-loan Man United man surged towards the City area. No foul, it was a fine tackle.
48'
West Ham's midfield have looked very good so far. There's a really nice balance to how the visitors have set their team up.
47'
STAT: Antonio is the first West Ham player to score home and away against Man City in a league season since Iain Dowie in 1995-96.

GOAL! The Hammers are level. Coufal marauds into the right side of the area and cuts it back for Lingard. The forward's shot flies towards the far post where Antonio pounces to divert it home.

STAT: City have scored in 20 successive league and cup games against West Ham.

West Ham look to have got over the blow of conceding that goal. Lingard leads the charge once more but sees his shot well gathered by Ederson.
