Manchester City were comfortable victors as they won 2-0 at Fulham on Saturday.
Bernardo Silva notched his 11th goal in all competitions this term, before setting up Sergio Aguero for a neat finish at Craven Cottage.
A seventh straight league win was enough to take City back on top a point ahead of Liverpool who play Spurs tomorrow.
“It was an incredible result after the international break and having played away. We did what we should do," said the City boss.
"The players have amazed me again.
“Our first 15-20 minutes was one of the best of the season. We played with incredible spirit, we could have scored more. After the goals we controlled it.
"At the end of the match, maybe the players were tired (but) we will be back in our rhythm.
"After the break playing at home is different to playing away. Always you have doubts about how they're going to react.
“This game was tricky - 12:30 on Saturday, a sunny day. That is unusual and that is why I am so satisfied.
"Fulham was a tough game for Liverpool and Chelsea so we knew it was going to be tricky.
"We are going to do everything to win. No matter the next competition, we will (try to) win the game."
