Man City thrash Chelsea 3-0 to go top of EPL

Manchester City went top of the Premier League table with a dominant victory over reigning champions Chelsea.

Sergio Aguero was denied three times by Chelsea keeper Asmir Begovic before he marked his first game of the season with a goal after Yaya Toure’s pass.

City were dominant, Eden Hazard forcing Joe Hart into his only serious save.

Vincent Kompany made it 2-0 with a header from David Silva’s corner before Fernandinho fired home from 18 yards.

Here is what Mourinho said on Sky Sports that set twitter agog: “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.

“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.”
