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.
