London: Pep Guardiola felt Man City rediscovered some of their swagger as they thumped West Ham 5-0 in the FA Cup on Friday.
In his first FA Cup tie Guardiola named a strong line-up and was rewarded with a victory thanks to Yaya Toure's penalty, Havard Nordtveit's own-goal and strikes from David Silva, Sergio Aguero and John Stones. "Today we controlled the game through our passes," said the City boss.
"After half-time we played like we expected, like it was at the start of the season. In the last month or two, we weren't able to do that but hopefully now we can start again to play in that sense. It's the only way for this kind of team. We are not strong and fast like the other teams but we try to play with the ball as much as possible," Guardiola added.
