200 wins for City under Pep
FT: Man City 2-1 West Ham

In what was just his 273rd game in charge of Manchester City, Pep Guardiola picked up his 200th victory with the club – the fewest games needed by a manager of an English top-flight side to reach 200 wins in all competitions.

'We are in every competition to win'
FT: Man City 2-1 West Ham

Man City defender John Stones, speaking to Sky Sports: "A lot of credit must go to West Ham. We knew what they would do. How they have been playing and their position speaks for itself. All credit. We had to fight them to the last few minutes. We were a bit deflated at half-time.

"We weren't at our free-flowing best as we have been. But that is down to how they set up. West Ham showed great character in the second-half.

"I try and chip in [with goals]. Some days it doesn't come off for the forwards and today me and Ruben chipped in. It is part of us being a team. We are just glad to get three points and keep the run going.

"Can only give credit to Ruben for moving to a new country and club and how he has played straight away. He has been outstanding.

"We go about our business in our own way and keep fighting. We are playing the football we were a few seasons ago. We have fighters in the dressing room. It has been an incredible few months. We are in every competition to try and win them."


Typo, ^ I think, BT Sport.

City's awesome squad depth
FT: Man City 2-1 West Ham

Consider Manchester City won their 20th successive game - and Bernardo Silva, Raheem Sterling and Aymeric Laporte watched it all unfold from the bench.

Pep Guardiola has awesome squad depth.

They are going to cruise to the title and must go close in the Champions League.

'Mathematics matter at end of season'
FT: Man City 2-1 West Ham

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, speaking to Sky Sports: "It was really difficult. They have the physicality. They have the quality of players in Lingard, Fornals.

"After 45 minutes today we realise we are not going to paint anything beautiful. Second half we were much better than the first half. When you play a lot of games, in the league and then the Champions League, this is normal.

"We were lucky to get all three points. The mathematics matter at the end of the season."
