Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini describes his team's performance as "fantastic" as they come from behind to beat Spurs 2-1 on Sunday.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has claimed that his players were "fantastic" during Sunday's 2-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur.

The Premier League champions had Edin Dzeko to thank at the Etihad Stadium as the striker came off the bench to score the winner in the final three minutes and keep City's unbeaten start to the season intact.

"We need to have more concentration on set pieces, but the players were fantastic and I can see that they showed the same spirit we had last year," Mancini told Sky Sports News.

The win has kept City in second place in the Premier League table, two points behind leaders Manchester United.
