EDIN Dzeko has warned that Manchester City are yet to hit their peak despite the club maintaining their excellent start to the season with a 5–1 hammering of Tottenham.
Roberto Mancini’s team made it three wins from their opening three Barclays Premier League games with a ruthless display of attacking football at White Hart Lane.
Dzeko was the destroyer–in–chief for Mancini’s men, scoring four times, with Sergio Aguero also adding another in the second half. Tottenham's consolation came 22 minutes from time through Younes Kaboul.
Had it not been for Manchester United’s 8–2 destruction of Arsenal at Old Trafford, City would be topping the table going into the international break.
Victories over Swansea and Bolton were expected, but the comprehensive defeat of a team who last season were regarded as one of the club’s main rivals, shows a clear step up in class from Mancini’s side.
Dzeko was delighted with his and his team–mates’ performance, but still maintains the best is yet to come from the squad.
Dzeko was ridiculed after failing to make an impression following his £27million move from Wolfsburg in January, but he has started this season on fire, scoring seven times in four matches.
Mancini is glad he kept faith with the 25–year–old as he reflected on another morale–boosting win for his team.
