Manchester City attacker Jesus Navas urged his team not to panic after their 4-1 loss to Tottenham on Saturday.
Flying early in the season, City suffered a second straight Premier League defeat despite going ahead through Kevin De Bruyne.
"I think that the season is very long. We are working well, we are up there and we've got to continue," the Spain international told City TV.
"We've still got a lot of games ahead of us and we will do a good job as always."
Navas said the equaliser, which came despite Kyle Walker being offside in the lead-up, was a cruel blow for Manuel Pellegrini's team.
"We were doing a great job," he said.
"We scored first, I think we were performing very well, but the goal right before half-time, I think that was very painful for us and it was hard to come back."
