Jose Mourinho slams "completely fake" Chelsea defeat

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has labelled his side's 3-0 defeat to Manchester City this evening as "completely fake".

Sergio Aguero struck the only goal in a one-sided opening 45 minutes, before Vincent Kompany and Fernandinho added gloss to the scoreline in the final quarter at Eastlands.

However, the Portuguese, whose side only had three shots on target, claims that the Blues did enough after the break to merit a point.

"The best team in the first half won the game. The best team in the second half was Chelsea for sure," he told Sky Sports News.

"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."

Defeat saw the reigning Premier League champions slip five points behind co-leaders City after two games played.
