Dejan Kulusevski is buzzing with anticipation for another clash against Manchester City after Tottenham's stunning victory at the Etihad Stadium.
The Swedish midfielder celebrated what he described as the pinnacle of his career following Spurs' emphatic 4-0 win over the reigning champions.
Kulusevski played a pivotal role in dismantling City's formidable 52-match unbeaten home streak, setting up James Maddison's opener with a sublime assist and producing a man of the match performance.
Kulusevski remarked: "I believed (we would win) this because in the past years, we’ve come here and played really well. So this is the game I look forward to most in the year and, once again, it happened – glory to God.
"I’d say it’s the best result ever in my career. It’s a big night for the whole club, for the coach, for the players.

"Because City have a lot of the ball sometimes, we can rest when we defend. There’s also so much space up there, we play one against one and then it’s always dangerous because we have a lot of quality."
Kulusevski expressed his preference for playing against top teams like City, explaining: "It’s always great to play great teams because they always want to play football.
"When you play lower teams, sometimes it’s not. There’s not much football played because they are a lot of fouls, a lot of injuries and it’s slow going."
While Maddison shone brightly with two rapid goals and Pedro Porro and Brennan Johnson also scored, Kulusevski's own dazzling display did not go unnoticed, and he is confident that he has more to offer.
Kulusevski said: "I feel like that. I feel very good and I’m trying to keep this way. I’m very happy, I’m trying to improve.
"I started the season good but there is over half of the season left and I hope I can do much better.
"I think I have something that no other player has. With my engine, with my heart – I don’t get tired – I feel like I can do a lot still in my career."
Despite Tottenham's dazzling win, they suffered a shock defeat to Ipswich before the international break and Kulusevski has plead forconsistency: "We have to be much more consistent. It’s not a turning point. We just have to be better in other games.
"This game suited us perfectly but we have a lot of improvement to make in the other games."
