Chelsea‘s poor start to the Premier League season continued with a 3-0 thumping by Manchester City on Sunday to leave Jose Mourinho’s misfiring champions with one point from their opening two games.
Sergio Aguero’s superb finish gave City a deserved 31st- minute lead and Vincent Kompany’s second goal in two games sealed the points for Manuel Pellegrini’s side before Fernandinho completed the rout.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho though described the outcome as a “fake” result.
“3-0 is completely fake,” Mourinho told Sky Sports.
At 1-0 Chelsea were the best team for the whole second half. 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.
– Jose Mourinho, Chelsea Manager
“Second half everything was different. 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,” he added.
