Chelsea manager explains 3-0 defeat to Man City in Premier League

Chelsea lost 3-0 to Manchester City at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, with Jeremy Doku, Nico O'Reilly and Marc Guehi finding the net for Pep Guardiola's side. Manager Liam Rosenior admitted Chelsea performed poorly in the second half despite being organized in the first half. "In the second half, the performance was nowhere near what we wanted," Rosenior stated, adding that Chelsea has a pattern of conceding quickly after going a goal down. The manager also referred to a disallowed goal, saying "Cucu's goal is an inch. I still don't know how close it is, but they have made the decision." After this defeat, Chelsea remain in sixth position with 48 points from 32 games, continuing their struggle to secure European qualification for next season. The loss highlights defensive vulnerabilities that have plagued the team throughout the campaign.
