A low scuffed effort from Samir Nasri just before half-time took the sting out of any fight the Hammers showed in the opening stages.
Another goal shortly after the break killed the game off as a contest. Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany got his name on the score sheet before he went to collect the winner’s trophy as City comfortably denied Liverpool the Barclays Premier League title.
The Hammers finish the season in 13th place after collecting 40 points from their 38 games.
