Manuel Pellegrini hails Manchester City's attackers

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has paid tribute to his attacking players following their 6-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur earlier today.

The victory meant that the Citizens have now scored 26 goals in front of their own supporters at the Etihad Stadium so far this season.

"It is impossible to play better than today. We are working to have one style of playing and continue in the same way," the Chilean boss told BBC Sport.

"All my teams normally score a lot of goals. Real Madrid scored more than 100 in a whole season.

"Here in Manchester City not only [Sergio] Aguero and [Alvaro] Negredo are incredible but others too, and Fernandinho and [Samir] Nasri did really well also today."

The result has lifted City up to fourth in the Premier League table, but they will drop down to fifth if rivals Manchester United win their ongoing match away at Cardiff City.
