LiveFT: Man City 3-0 Chelsea - reaction This page automatically updates

More from Manuel Pellegrini on Sky Sports:  "Always when you don’t score the goals you deserve, normally after that is difficult. We started the second half losing important balls and Chelsea grew. They are a good team so of course we were worried, but they had just one chance to score in our bad moments, they
did not create chances.
"It was not the same team as the first half but after the changes we recovered possession and scored the 3-0 that was the minimum we deserved from this game.
"I am very proud of this team. We have had a
lot of criticism but we are always the most scoring team. We won two titles and last year we finished in second place and I continue playing this side. This is the side fans deserve."

Anukram Adhikary:  According to #Mourinho, in the second half, #CFC were the better team. Makes perfect sense as they conceded two more goals.
Stephen Pinshon:  #Chelsea have conceded only 2 goals less than Sunderland. Jose's hasn't parked the bus, he's lost it in the Lidl car park.

    Manchester City 3-0 Chelsea
    Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini, speaking to Sky Sports:
    “Two things are the most pleasing to me about this match. Number one to score three goals. In the first half we played really well, just Asmir Begoivc put in a great performance and we didn't score more.
    "Second it was important to get a clean sheet. To win 3-0 in two games, one against the champions, we are just starting the season but it’s important to play in the way we did today.
    "We always dominate Chelsea. Maybe we draw against them last year and before we lost but always we dominate Chelsea. Today we made the complete work."

    I'm going to tease you some Manuel Pellegrini quotes as well now. In a post-match interview, the Manchester City boss has just said that his side "always dominate Chelsea". More of that coming very soon.

    More from Jose Mourinho on Sky Sports  "Their decision to bring on (centre-back) Martin Demichelis is an intelligent change, the sort of change I get criticised for all the time.
    "Their midfield was in trouble, probably they should finish the game with nine men. In the end I have to be happy with the second half we did. That is not enough to win the game."

    Simon, Leeds: Jose working on his statement. Apparently the Chelsea kit man gave Ivanovic the wrong shin pads today. Which is why the best team lost again.

    OK, here we go...
    Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho on Sky Sports:  "The best team in the first half won the game. The best team in the second half was Chelsea for sure. We had a difficult first half, we didn't create a lot and our goalkeeper made a few important saves.
    "Second half everything was different. If the 1-0 was a doubtful result at minute 70, 3-0 is completely fake. At 1-0 Chelsea were the best team for the whole second half.
    "They make a change because they feel 1-0 is in danger and we concede a second goal. If 1-1 a different story, their team is in trouble."

    Manchester City 3-0 Chelsea
    Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero, speaking to Sky Sports: " It was very good. It’s important the goal because the first one is always important. Then the team is more calm. It’s important the three points because Chelsea is difficult, they are the champions."
    Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany, speaking to Sky Sports: " There actually wasn't much difference to how we played against Chelsea twice last season, but this time we managed to score and not make the same mistakes. It was a comfortable game.To start the way we did today is definitely the right signal but there’s still a lot to come.
    "As a defender scoring is not what I take most pride, but I am really happy with the two clean sheets – that is what makes me sleep well at night."
