A round-up of the post-match reaction following the opening Saturday of the Premier League season.
Pep Guardiola
Pep Guardiola enjoyed the result but not the performance as Manchester City opened their title defence with a 5-0 thrashing of West Ham.
"Was it the perfect start? In terms of result, yes. Performance, no!" said Guardiola.
"In the first half we were sloppy in our passing. But that's normal. It's the first game, away, it was hot, the rhythm was not there.
"The second half was better, more calm, extra passes, and after 3-0 the game was over. I cannot deny I'm so delighted for 5-0."
