Man City will love what West Ham fans did to taunt their arch rivals Man United during the 2-0 win at the London Stadium.

West Ham secured a comfortable victory over Manchester United at the London Stadium to go just four points behind Manchester City in the Premier League table.

And the Hammers paid homage to Man United’s bitter rivals Man City in the process.

Most English football fans can’t stand supporters of rival clubs for one reason or another such is the tribal nature of the beautiful game.

West Ham fans have intense rivalries with the likes of Millwall, Tottenham and Chelsea.

Man City will love what West Ham fans did to taunt Man United

And Manchester United share a fierce rivalry with their ‘noisy neighbours’ Manchester City too.

Especially since their emergence as the dominant force in the city.

But supporters of West Ham and the reigning champions Man City have always seemed to click. There is a respect between West Ham and Man City that is rare in the modern game.

Indeed there is a brilliant 36-year-old story behind that mutual respect between the claret and blues and the blue half of Manchester.

So Man City will love what West Ham fans did to taunt their arch rivals Man United during their win.

‘Let’s all do the Poznan’

Because Hammers fans goaded Manchester United by doing the Poznan celebration made famous by Manchester City.

You will all be aware of the Poznan celebration by now. Fans turn their backs on the pitch, put their arms over oneanother’s shoulders and jump up and down en masse. It originated with Polish club Lech Poznan, where the celebratory dance became ingrained in their fan culture as early as 1961. And it was adopted by Man City after a game against them.

West Ham fans used it to have a dig at the visiting Man United supporters and chanted: “Let’s all do the Poznan” as their team strode to a comfortable win over the Red Devils.
