MAURICO POCHETTINO labelled Tottenham's hammering at Mancherster City an 'unbeliveable experience'.
A 4-1 defeat left Spurs seventh in the Premier League and 19 points adrift of runaway leaders City.
Ilkay Gundogan was left unmarked for unmarked for the opening City and it was downhill from then on for the visitors.
Kevin de Bruyne and Raheem Sterling's double put Tottenham to the sword.
In return Christian Eriksen did come up with a 89th minute beauty to give the Londoners some reward.
But Tottenham boss Pochettino said: "For me, you can take some positives from the unbelievable experience for the team to realise that to play for the Premier League we need to improve. "We need to learn, to work harder than before and of course we play again today a team that has a lot of quality.
"We need to improve, we need to learn from this situation. "Today was a very good example to see a team that believe, has quality, has strength and is in very good form. There is nothing to say, they deserve the victory - completely.
"The better team won. When you watch the game and you assess the game and the way we conceded the first goal was a massive gift for Manchester City. "It changed completely all that you compare and wanted to develop on the pitch.
"They are in a very good form and momentum. They are showing why they are the best in the Premier League."
Gundogan couldn't believe he was left on his own for his goal. He said: "I was a bit surprised that I was free, I guess the Spurs players didn't know I am strong at that.
"I have been through tough times so especially games like today where you are able to improve your self confidence are very important.
"Today was a good day."
