Kevin De Bruyne hailed Manchester City's mental strength after the Premier League leaders put a torrid week behind them to move within a win of the title by beating Tottenham 3-1.
Gabriel Jesus' opener and a penalty from Ilkay Gundogan put Pep Guardiola's side in the driving seat after 25 minutes at Wembley.
But, as in their 3-2 defeat to Manchester United last weekend and Champions League loss at the hands of Liverpool in midweek, City looked set to have a lead wiped out when Christian Eriksen reduced the arrears in the 42nd minute.
The visitors withstood Spurs pressure early in the second half and, having passed up a pair of clear chances in quick succession, Raheem Sterling sealed the points by beating Hugo Lloris on the rebound after the Tottenham goalkeeper denied Gabriel Jesus.
