Etihad derailment leaves Mourinho more morose

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho cut a frustrated figure as he weathered questions about his side's bruising 3-0 loss to Premier League title rival Manchester City on Sunday.

Ever the battler, Mourinho protested that Chelsea's improved second-half performance on Sunday meant the scoreline was "fake," but neither the impression left by the game nor the statistics bore him out.

Eden Hazard forced City goalkeeper Joe Hart to save at 1-0, but it was Chelsea's only real chance at that stage and the host finished the game having recorded eight shots on target to the visitor's three.
