Yaya Toure says Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini inspired the players to their 6-0 win over Tottenham.
Toure paid tribute to Pellegrini afterwards, saying the pre-match speech given by the manager was "unbelievable".
It appears the Chilean laid it on the line to his players before kick-off, saying anything less than victory and it would be difficult to catch leaders Arsenal.
Pellegrini himself said: "All my teams score a lot of goals. Real Madrid scored more than 100 in a season.
"Here at Manchester City not only are Sergio Aguero and Alvaro Negredo incredible but others are too. Fernandinho and Samir Nasri did well against Spurs."
