As the Blues continued to pour forward in search of an equalizer, Fernandinho latched on a loose Cesc Fabregas pass and slammed home the third.
City are now five points ahead of Chelsea.
In the first game of the day, Arsenal battled to a 2-1 win away at Crystal Palace, to record their first win of the season.
The
Blues are yet to win a game this season and were ripped apart by Manuel
Pellegrini’s men at the Etihad. But Mourinho says Chelsea were the
better team in the second half and did not deserve to lose by the wide
margin.
He told 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.
“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.”
Chelsea are now five points behind leaders Manchester City, Manchester Untied and Leicester City.
