Pep Guardiola: 'Manchester City should have beaten West Ham United by more'

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola insists that there is still plenty of room for improvement from his side despite their perfect start to the season.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has insisted that there is still more to come from his side despite maintaining their 100% start to the season.

Two goals in the opening 20 minutes helped City to a 3-1 victory over West Ham United at the Etihad Stadium this afternoon, making it five wins from five under Guardiola so far, including three in three in the Premier League.

Guardiola was "satisfied" with the performance and is happy with how his side have developed during his two months at the helm, but believes that there is still room for improvement once the likes of Ilkay Gundogan and Leroy Sane are available.

"We can play better, no doubt about that. We are just two months here, not too much and I didn't expect to play in this short time, like this. We played good first half. After we received the goal from West Ham from their first chance, we had the mentality to control our emotions very well," he told reporters.

"We didn't concede any more chances and we made a lot more. We deserved to win by more goals but the performance was good. We need Ilkay and Sane because these guys who played today cannot play every game.

"From the first training session, the friendlies and the official games I have no complaints about the attitude and behaviour of the squad."

City will face their biggest test of the Guardiola era so far after the international break when they take on Jose Mourinho's Manchester United at Old Trafford.
