Manchester City on Saturday lost 3-1 to Chelsea at the Etihad stadium.

Chelsea defender Cahill turned the ball into his own net before Costa pulled one back after recieving a sublime lob from Fabregas from deep inside Chelsea's half. Substitute Willian put the visitors ahead before Hazard completed the romp few minutes to the end of the game, both men scoring from counter attacks.

At the end of the match Kun Aguero was red carded after a nasty attack on David Luiz. Fernadinho was also sent off for assaulting Fabregas.

Speaking after the game, Manchester City Manager, Pep Guardiola said:

"Congratulations to Chelsea - they won. We played really good, had a lot of control and created chances. But the ball in the box was not strong enough.

"Chelsea's approach was really different but that is part of the game. You don't expect Chelsea to create 25 chances. They created three and scored three."

When asked about why David Luiz wasn't penalised in the first half for tugging back Sergio Aguero, he said:

"I was asked to come and train here and it is a pleasure to be in this country. But I just don't understand the processes," he says, rather diplomatically.

But he gets in all wrong on THAT Aguero tackle which sparked the injury-time melee.

"Both players were strong there - that's all," he says.
