After defeat at Eastlands, West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola declared Manchester City a genuine top four contender.
"You can't come to places like this and just give presents to the opposition," he said. "They are too good and will just take advantage.
"I was really impressed with City, they were really good. Some of the football they played was outstanding. If they play to this standard for the rest of the season, they will be up there in the top four at the end."
