PEP GUARDIOLA REACTION

On today's performance: "We played really good. West Ham are always dangerous. Paqueta can attack with Kudus, the sense of danger is never over. We played really well, it was an unfortunate goal against. The second half was more open but we controlled it better and the performance is good. Officially the pre-season is now over. We played one game a week and it was a super season. Now they play two a week."

On Haaland: "From the beginning he was unbelievable. The second goal, even the first. The third goal is something unique. With this mindset he has, everything he can do. The numbers with the short age and the games he's played. He's loved for what he does on the pitch.

"You have to let him do what he wants. He scored three goals today but he didn't lose one ball. Today is one of the games where he has played the best in all situations. When you see the games and see what we want to do, he understands because he is a smart guy. He wants to score goals."

ERLING HAALAND REACTION

On being rested: "I feel good. I feel energised. I had a long vacation and a long pre-season. I’m feeling good. The years here have gone quick and it’s been going like bam bam bam, now I have a little bit of rest in my body and my feet. I feel really good now and I’m ready for more."

On feeling different: "Only footballers know how important it is to have a break and a long enough break. In the end, you need to calm down your body and mind because it’s a long season and it's not as easy as everyone thinks. I feel fresh and I feel good, it’s the most important thing."

On favourite goal: "I really liked the second one. I liked all of them but the second one was lovely. A lovely ball from Rico, a perfect first touch and not a bad finish."
