'He's the icing on the cake for them': David Moyes praises Erling Haaland's 'incredible' start to life in the Premier League which has left the Hammers boss unsure of how to stop him ahead of West Ham's trip to the Etihad

David Moyes labelled Erling Haaland as the icing on the cake for Manchester City as West Ham brace themselves to face the Premier League leaders on Wednesday.

Haaland's penalty during City's 2-1 win over Fulham on Sunday made him the first player in top-flight English football since 1931 to score 50 goals in all competitions during a season.

The Norwegian's brace in City's 2-0 win over the Hammers in August is fresh in the memory of Moyes who anticipates another challenging task when the sides meet.

'They have got a great team and I think that's topped off by Haaland,' Moyes said.
