Chelsea captain, John Terry has echoed his manager’s voice that City are beatable.<\/p>\n
The former England captain said Chelsea’s victory was important because they have been able to prove to other teams that Manuel Pellegrini’s side was not invincible.<\/p>\n
“They’ve been phenomenal scoring goals and turning teams over,”<\/p>\n
“It was important not just for us but for other teams, showing that they can be beaten.”Terry said.<\/p>\n
Terry also said that the outcome of the game was a confirmation of Jose Mourinho’s technical ability.<\/p>\n
“We spent a couple of days working on their strengths and weaknesses.<\/p>\n
“After the disappointment of dropping two points against West Ham, it was important to come here and bounce back.” He added.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has attributed the home defeat to the absence of two of his key players, Sergio Arguero and Fernandinho.<\/p>\n
Brazilian midfielder, Fernandinho and Argentina striker, Arguero were both sidelined due to injuries.<\/p>\n
“It was a very close game to play against Chelsea without (Sergio) Aguero and Fernandinho.<\/p>\n
“It’s important to note that we were missing them, also Nasri and Javi Garcia. We had to change the midfield.<\/p>\n
“It was an important game but we’ll continue and we’ll see. We’re just two points behind Arsenal.” Pellegrini added.<\/p>\n
Even then, City had chances to snatch an equaliser towards the end of the game as David Silva and Stevan Jovetic both came close to finding a way past Petr Cech.<\/p>\n
The visitors were more dangerous, with a third of their 18 shots testing Joe Hart in the City goal, with three hitting the woodwork.<\/p>\n
