Manchester City captain Ilkay Gundogan struck in the midst of a first-half snowstorm before a late goal from substitute Fernandinho proved enough to secure a 2-1 home victory over West Ham United in the Premier League on Sunday.

The win lifts City back up to second place and level on 29 points with leaders Chelsea, who host Manchester United in the late game. WestHam, who snatched an added-time consolation with a superb Manuel Lanzini strike, stay fourth on 23 points.

“It was a very difficult day because of the weather conditions but it is always difficult against this team,” City midfielder Rodri told the BBC.

“We were lucky to get this first goal because in the first half we couldn’t play much. In the second we dominated and could have scored more.”

With thick snow falling for most of the opening half, City’s Riyadh Mahrez had the ball in the net in the 16th minute after a superb finish but his effort was ruled out for offside.

City took the lead in the 33rd minute when Mahrez drove the ball across the goal and Gundogan was on hand to steer it home.

That marked the beginning of a spell of heavy pressure from the hosts and they could have gone 2-0 up four minutes later but Gabriel Jesus’s shot was cleared off the line by Ben Johnson.

Halftime saw the snowstorm abate and an army of groundstaff cleared the pitch. WestHam then had another let-off when Aaron Cresswell made a goal-line clearance as City dominated.

It took the home side until the 90th minute to score again, however, as Jesus teed up fellow Brazilian Fernandinho to net three minutes after he came off the bench.

Having seen little to warm them up during the game, the WestHam fans finally had something to celebrate when Lanzini won the ball on the edge of the area and sent an unstoppable shot into the top right corner with the final kick of the game.

90+2 mins: Cristiano Ronaldo is shown a yellow card for dissent as the referee tries to restart the game. Jesse Lingard sends Ronaldo away down the left wing. Ronaldo is clearly offside as he collects the ball and drives into the box. He cuts back onto his right foot but gets tackled and Man Utd are awarded a corner.

Thomas Tuchel is fuming over the decision. He gives Anthony Taylor an earful and the referee pulls out a yellow card for the Chelsea manager.

Scott McTominay blocks a shot and takes the full force of the ball in the face. That one has to hurt. He gets a bit of treatment from the physios. There’s going to be five minutes of added time to play.

87 mins: Lingard runs the ball away after a Chelsea corner but he can’t take it around James. James passes it back to Mendy who makes a mistake and kicks the ball out to Fred. Fred brings the ball to the front of the box with Lingard screaming for him to pas it. Instead he tries to chip it over Mendy and just ends up giving it back to the goalkeeper. Wasteful.
