The German was clearly unhappy with what his side produced in a scoreless first half in north London on Sunday, but his team responded with a dominant second-half display to win 3-0. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side struggled to have any control of the game and were repeatedly opened up by West Ham, just as they had been in their previous away trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers where they won 1-0 with an 80th-minute goal.
Brighton’s first goal came from a penalty awarded for handball by Jannik Vestergaard, although Leicester were incensed that referee Stuart Attwell changed his original decision not to award a spot kick after consultation with his assistant. “It was a very, very harsh decision and, like I said, the process, the fourth official didn’t see it, the referee had given a corner, the linesman, who was quite a way away, gave it and then obviously for it not to be looked at by Stuart was disappointing so I didn’t think it was a penalty.
“He was active in terms of movement,” Pep Guardiola said. “Today we struggled a bit. He was always dangerous and ready to try to do it.”There were times last season when Liverpool’s Sadio Mané cut a frustrated figure, unhappy with the form that resulted in 11 Premier League goals from 35 appearances.
