SEE THE TABLE........WATCH THE GOALS.........CHELSEA 3 MAN CITY 1

Chelsea made it eight wins in a row and boosted their title challenge with a clinical comeback, scoring three times in the second half as Manchester City unravelled, with Sergio Agüero and Fernandinho both sent off


Here is Antonio Conte, who is a little more succint:
“We have many things still to improve. If you don’t have a good character, it’s very hard to win this game. [Fàbregas] played a good game, with good personality. I’m very happy. I know I can always count on him.”
Conte is asked if his players lost control after Agüero’s late foul, but gives that one the swerve. “It’s a pity. Agüero is for sure a fantastic player, and it’s difficult to control yourself when you are losing a game. I think Agüero is a really good player… I’ll stop.”

Here’s Pep Guardiola, trying and failing to be easy breezy about the whole thing:
“Congratulations to Chelsea, they won. We created a lot of chances, played really good... after the 1-2 [Willian’s goal], it’s not easy. In the box, we’re not strong enough.”
Did De Bruyne’s miss cost them? “A little. But it’s part of the game. We didn’t win just because of that action. There were many. “[Chelsea] ran through three... four times, they scored three times. In the box, they are so, so strong. ”
On Anthony Taylor’s decision not to penalise David Luiz in the first half, Guardiola only says: “I am so happy to be here [in England], I don’t want to change anything, I just want to understand.
On Agüero’s late red card: “both players were strong there, so that’s all.” Replays show Fabregas raising a hand to Fernandinho, and Guardiola snubbed the Chelsea man’s handshake at the end.
Final thoughts: “The level was good, believe me. You are going to analyse, we lost 3-1, but I prefer to play that way, then against Burnley and Crystal Palace where we won. Chelsea had nine players in the box, we created 25 chances, but we lost. That is my explanation, but it will sound like an excuse.”
  it’s Agüero’s second red card of the season, so he’ll miss four league games, against Leicester, Watford, Arsenal and Hull.
 
Agüero utterly loses his head at the end of the game, flying into David Luiz with both feet off the ground. Chalobah shoves Agüero, and an almighty scuffle ensues...
 Fernandinho shoves Cesc Fabregas by the throat and earns himself a red card
 
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte celebrates their third much to the shagrin of Pep Guardiola.
