DBasia.news – Exciting match (tends to run one direction) held at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City headquarters when entertaining Chelsea in week 26 of the Premier League on Sunday (10/2) night Western Indonesian Time.
Coming as a guest team, the Blues had to go home with their heads down after 6-0. Playing without direction, Maurizio Sarri’s squad was very troublesome and had even conceded four goals in the first half through Raheem Sterling, Ilkay Gundogan and Sergio Aguero’s two goals. While two additional goals were scored in the second half, again through the actions of Aguero and Sterling.
Not only Chelsea fans who were surprised by this defeat, one of the team’s mainstay players, N’golo Kante also felt the same. Even the Frenchman also admitted that he was unable to explain what had happened to him and his team-mates in the match.
“The crushing defeat against Manchester City was really hard to explain. This was a collective failure. City beat us from the first minute to the last minute. They also managed to excel and make a difference at the start of the first half of the game,” Kante said as quoted by the club’s official website.
The defeat against The Citizens became Chelsea’s sixth defeat in the Premier League competition this season. Now Roman Abramovich’s club must also be thrown from the top four zone and occupy sixth place in the standings.
Closing the conversation, Kante also asked his team-mates to immediately get up and give a positive reaction after this defeat.
“Yes, this defeat is really disappointing and we have to get up soon. It’s hard to accept defeat, especially if you lose by a landslide score. But on the other hand, Chelsea also have a number of important matches. I hope we will close the season with results that’s good,” he concluded.
