A great win with lots of goals.

Manchester City earn a great win vs. Salford City, where the young players shined, McAtee and other academy players, as did Jeremy Doku and even Jack Grealish.

A really great rotated win that showed City have the players to compete. The fire was there and we got some great goals, all in all a great day at the match!

Pep Guardiola Reaction

"It's another game. We cannot deny that we need victories. That's the third in a row.

"Of course we are away from being close to the top of the league but some players are recovering. Still we have big, big problems in the back four.

"Everyone made incredible contributions, starting from our striker Divin.

"We scored a lot of goals - for a long time it didn't happen.

"It was just one game. We need it for our mood and now we have really tough games away in the next few days."

"He's a special, talented player," said the manager.

"The generation of Morgan Rogers, Cole Palmer, Liam Delap, Romeo Lavia, Jadon Sancho. All the players that play really well in the Premier League.

"He was a main player there and captain and a City fan.

"I'm not going to deny how happy I am. It's not easy to score a hat trick but he can play better. First half was not his best and he has to do that.

"But he's an exceptional guy and he has special talent.

"When he plays close to the opposition, he has an incredible sense of goal. His work ethic is unbelievable and he is aggressive.

"Today was not easy. He was man marked in the middle. I'm really pleased for him."
