Manchester City manager, Manuel Pellegrini has played down talks about his sides’ title quest, stressing that it is not yet a done deal.
City overwhelmed Tottenham Hotspurs with a 5-1 whitewash at the White Hart Lane on Wednesday night but the Chilean tactician does not believe that his team has the title all wrapped up yet.
”We are not thinking about the title because we have to play 15 games more and there are lots of points that we must continue the same way we played” Pellegrini stated in his post-match conference.
Sergio Aguero drew first blood in the 15th minute when he latched onto a pass from David Silva, but he was unable to continue the game on the stroke of half-time with a suspected groin injury and was replaced by Stefan Jovetic.
Ivorian international, Yaya Toure doubled the lead from the penalty spot after Danny Rose allegedly committed himself in the penalty area and was red carded as a result.
Barley two minutes afterwards, the ‘Bosnian Diamond’, Edin Dzeko made it 3-0 to further compound the woes of Tim Sherwood and the home fans.
Although Etienne Capoue pulled one back for the home side in the 59th minute, City just wasn’t done as both Vincent Kompany and Stefan Jovetic added two more goals to round off a fantastic night which saw City assume the lead of the EPL log.
