Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was delighted after their 3-0 defeat of Tottenham.
The result moved City seven points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
Ilkay Gundogan scored twice after Rodri had put City ahead from the penalty spot midway through the opening period.
Guardiola said, "It was well deserved, they hit the post and that can turn the game but the way we wanted to play was there. Tottenham have special quality, we have played well against them in the past and lost 2-0.
"They don't need anything to create chances. It is the quality and the approach of their manager. We have a special way to play and we will continue, you have to be patient, patient. Calm.
"The penalty is clear and then the first time we attack in the second half we score, that can happen."
