Raheem Sterling scored a hat-trick as Manchester City got their title defence up and running in style with a 5-0 win at West Ham.
In the Premier League game where VAR made its first impact, Manchester City's new No 9 Gabriel Jesus showed deadly instinct to open the scoring with a near-post touch from Kyle Walker's fine work down the right (25), and the champions were 2-0 up shortly after half-time through Sterling's tidy finish (51).
The season's first major VAR call came minutes later as Jesus' tap-in was ruled out by a marginal offside call on Sterling (53), but after another tight VAR call, Sterling grabbed his second and City's third, lobbing Lukasz Fabianski inside the box (75).
