Allardyce: West Ham were simply better than Man City

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce says victory over Manchester City came simply because they were the better team.

Allardyce felt City's own frailties led to a fifth league win of the campaign.

"We put Manchester City's back four to task and, in my opinion, they didn't hold up," he said.

"The quality of our play in the final third is why we have won the game today.

"When you have got quality players, quality players look forward to the big games where the less quality players can get anxious, but Song led us as a team today and the rest of the lads responded."
