Man City boss Guardiola: A great win against West Ham given injuries

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was delighted with their performance for victory over West Ham.

The Hammers had the lead through James Ward-Prowse before City fought back to win 3-1 via goals from Doku, Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland.

City were missing the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, John Stones, Mateo Kovacic and Jack Grealish on the day.

"We made so many chances in 90 minutes against a team that sits so deep – I'm so incredibly proud of my team," he said.

"It's a great win for us with all the injury problems we have within our squad.

"We spoke at half-time because we were really, really good in the first half and in the second at times we were lucky and we had to be patient and wait for our chances, but it was really good the way we played."
