Man City Defeated by Chelsea, Premier League Title Race Is Exciting

DBasia.news – Manchester City got the first defeat in the Premier League. On the 16th-week at Stamford Bridge, Sunday (9/12), Man City defeated 9-2 against Chelsea by the goals from N’Golo Kante and David Luiz. This is the first failure of Pep Guardiola in the 2018/2019 Premier League.

The defeat is getting more perfect for Chelsea as their success to end Man City’s goal machine. The Citizens are one of the best attack creators in the Premier League with 45 goals.

Man City are in the second position of the table with 41 points behind Liverpool with one point difference, the only unbeaten team in the Premier League so far.

Recently, before Man City defeated by Chelsea, they got another defeat on April during the Manchester Derby against Man United. The unbeaten matches ended in the 22nd.

Guardiola thinks the race is getting more open by Man City’s failure. Liverpool, Man City, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, and Arsenal might win the Premier League title and the Champions League zone with Man United.

“We are in December – if you (ask) me if Liverpool can win the Premier League, I will say yes,” Guardiola 

“If you (ask) me right now in the position, Tottenham or Chelsea or Arsenal can win the Premier League, I will say yes. Everybody can win the Premier League,” he continued.

The defeat from Chelsea is not a big thing for Guardiola. Previously, Man City were predicted would break the record as the unbeaten team, during the third period of Guardiola.

“Everybody asks me every time. Last season it happened the same in that period. I said that isn’t going to happen. Yesterday they asked me at the press conference and I said again that isn’t going to happen. We are not here to be invincible, we are here to try and be champion,” Guardiola insisted.

“It’s part of the competition, you can lose. But it’s how you lose. Have we been like we normally are? Absolutely, yes. We monopolize the ball like Chelsea, we create the chances, we have two thousand million passes. They beat us in one counter-attack and one set piece, he concluded.
