Swansea boss Paul Clement wasn't speaking in hyperbole after his side were trounced 4-0 by Manchester City.

The former Chelsea, Bayern Munich, PSG and Real Madrid assistant manager stated that Pep Guardiola's side are 'one of the best sides' he has ever seen.

"At times it was horrible to be on the sideline watching that, seeing my side trying but suffering for long periods," reflected Clement.

"They're not the games that will decide our season but it was hard to watch at times because they were so dominant. For me, one of the best sides I've ever come across.

"So many good athletes, so many intelligent footballers and it's really hard to pin them down.

"We actually had some attempts on their goal so I'm disappointed we didn't get on the score sheet but they were a far superior side to us. We've got to put it aside that game. We've got Everton away (next) and we've got to try and pick something up there."
