Manchester City

It was easy at times to forget that this was the second-best team in the Premier League last season, but on this occasion just another visitor departing the Etihad Stadium wondering how to piece themselves together after the kind of demolition that can shatter confidence.

Manchester City’s winning run stands at 16 now and this one was another brutalising experience for Tottenham Hotspur who will have to live with the way they were torn apart over and again in a fixture they drew last season. Pep Guardiola has not just produced a team that dominates possession and wins games but one which now hunts down even its beaten opponents with an unnerving ruthlessness.
