Pep Guardiola names unsung Man City player who had 'one of his best games ever' vs West Ham

Kyle Walker played his best game for Manchester City against West Ham, according to Pep Guardiola.

Walker, who has been at City since 2017, has been City's first choice right-back for the majority of his time at the Etihad and lined up there on the opening day at the London Stadium. However, in possession, Walker regularly moved inside as an inverted full-back, as did Joao Cancelo from the left.

As a result, City crowded the midfield and were able to free their attackers and unlock the West Ham defence. And Guardiola says Walker's contribution might be his best performance since signing for City, praising both of his full-backs for their tactical roles.
