Pep Guardiola lavished praise on Manchester City's ground staff after heavy snowfall at the Etihad Stadium.
City's victory over West Ham was played in driving snow, with referee Michael Oliver allowing extra time at the break to clear the pitch.
Guardiola, who went to congratulate head groundsman Lee Jackson on the touchline, had told his team to take fewer risks, given the conditions.
'I think the groundkeepers — the guys who take care of the pitch — were the men of the match,' said Guardiola.
