• West Ham are a good side, he says of rivals’ Monday game
Pep Guardiola believes Manchester City are back to their best after Sergio Agüero’s hat-trick secured a 3-1 win against Arsenal, with the manager admitting they did not “recognise” themselves after the defeat at Newcastle United last week.
The result closes the gap behind Liverpool at the top of the table to two points, with Jürgen Klopp’s team to play their game in hand at West Ham United on Monday. Guardiola’s side bounced back from the surprise loss at St James’ Park thanks to Agüero’s treble – the 14th of his City career – after Laurent Koscielny had pulled Arsenal level in the first half.
