#3 Flop: Arthur Masuaku

He was at fault for Sterling's goal, allowing him an opportunity to run across him inside the box and tap home from close-range after Sane fizzed a devilish cross towards them.

For a fullback, he seemed to abandon even the simplest of defensive responsibilities - remaining tight to his marker and making it difficult to create chances down his side of the pitch.

Caught ball-watching, he was soon clearly targeted by City's attackers as the hosts' weak link throughout the first-half. Things only worsened as time passed because he was lacking confidence in possession and relinquished it whenever on the ball.

He was unsurprisingly replaced for a more defensively astute Aaron Cresswell at the interval, who had to pick up the pieces with West Ham already 3-0 down before the second-half began.
