Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has described as “fake”, his side’s 3-0 beating at Manchester City on Sunday.
Goals from Sergio Aguero, Vincent Kompany and Fernandinho helped Man City maintain their 100% start to the new season.
The Blues have now failed to get a win from their first two games of a Premier League season for the first time since 1998.
Despite an outstanding start from Bosnian Asmir Begovic, who deputised for the suspended Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, Manuel Pellegrini’s men went into the break 1-0 up via Aguero’s opener right after the half-hour mark.
The Argentine striker’s deft control of a pass from David Silva saw him evade Chelsea defenders and steer his low shot past Begovic into the far corner.
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.”
Mourinho brought on Kurt Zouma for John Terry at the break in an apparent bid to beef up his defensive backline. It was the first time in 177 matches (since May 2013 vs Aston Villa) that the Chelsea skipper would be substituted by the Portuguese boss.
