Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has said that he is "proud" of his side's record-breaking 16-match winning streak in the Premier League.
City's 4-1 triumph over Tottenham Hotspur this afternoon means that they have now taken 48 points from the last 48 on offer in the top flight, last dropping points in August during only the second game of the season.
Guardiola's current run matches his best winning streak from his time in charge of Barcelona, although he is still three short of the 19 wins in a row he managed while at Bayern Munich.
"We made an outstanding performance. We scored four goals, we created a [great] amount of chances against one of strongest and best teams and the best coaches in the world, so we are so satisfied - for the mentality. After winning 15 games, [it was] another one," he told reporters.
"And that means without the ball. People have to look at us, how good we are with the ball - but without the ball there is energy.
"Of course I am proud - I don't want to be humble right now, I'm proud with my staff. I think we work a lot. I was with three amazing clubs. Without good players and clubs supporting your ideas, it is impossible to achieve these kind of things."
Guardiola now holds the record-winning run in three of Europe's top five leagues.
