Delighted City boss Pellegrini admitted he could not ask for any more from his side.
"It is impossible to play better than we did today," he said after the comprehensive victory. "Except for 15 minutes in the first half when Tottenham had possession of the ball and were defending well
"After that I think we finished the first half very well, and the second was incredible.
"We have very good strikers, but it's the whole team not just Aguero and Negredo."
