Mauricio Pochettino and Harry Kane at Chelsea
Christian Eriksen had reduced the deficit to 2-1 in the first half, but City will be crowned champions if United lose to bottom of the table West Bromwich Albion on Sunday. Guardiola's men arrived at Old Trafford with a handy eight-point lead over neighbours United at the summit.
"We're working in a different way to them", he said.
Both sides continued to put up impressive play to ensure the game swing in their favour, but it was City who got lucky.
Among countless star turns in Guardiola's side, Kevin De Bruyne has been the standout. Incidentally, it was City who beat them last. Leroy Sane was a threat all night on the left flank, running beyond Kieran Trippier, fashioning clearcut chances and offering himself as an option.
Spurs include their own Sterling... We need to be consistent during the whole season and be the best team like Manchester City are doing today.
Despite completely dominating the first-half, there were some nervy moments as Tottenham got back into the match until Raheem Sterling scored City's decisive third.
Manager Sean Dyche's side now sits seventh in the standings, and a win on at home on Saturday against Leicester City would see them go seven points clear of the Foxes and move close to securing a spot in next season's Europa League. Since then City have faced United, who came from behind to beat them at the Etihad and Liverpool, who did a similar comeback victory.
Captain Dani Parejo pulled a goal back for third-placed Valencia by squeezing an 87th-minute penalty under Barca goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, but the Catalans withstood an exciting final spell to move to within seven points of their 25th league title. However, as the Harry Kane and Dele Alli led side head down the stretch, they are tied with Liverpool in points and are behind only on goal differential. Alternatively, they only require one win from their remaining five games to guarantee glory.
A long ball from Kyle Walker saw Gabriel Jesus outpace Davinson Sanchez to race in on goal and finish coolly. Similarly, the second goal resulted from a swift counter-attack that eventually saw Hugo Lloris come way off his line and foul Sterling to concede a penalty (although contact happened outside the box), which was dispatched easily by Gundogan.
City's problems were suddenly a thing of the past and they went further ahead three minutes later.
"We congratulate them because they are very close to winning the Premier League and after 14 games unbeaten for us, today was a hard game to play".
Tottenham were one of the teams that troubled City last season, with their aggressive pressing and high-tempo play.
BARCELONA (Reuters) - Barcelona responded to its shock Champions League elimination by AS Roma by beating Valencia 2-1 on Saturday in a subdued atmosphere at the Nou Camp, setting a La Liga record run of 39 games unbeaten and taking the side ever closer to another title.
"The amount of goals, chances, points, to do that in the Premier League with the contenders that we have it is because the players are so, so good".
