The win left Chelsea outside of the Champions League places in sixth, but they are now just two points ahead of tenth placed Sunderland.

Micah Richards felt sorry for Chelsea against Man City

Chelsea have now lost their last three league games by a combined scored of 7-0, and haven’t scored a league goal since the 4-1 win against Aston Villa on March 4th.

Not many expected the Blues to get anything from the game, but you could argue their plan worked in the first half.

However, after the break City were just able to up their levels, and Chelsea simply had no answer as they were swept aside.

It was another damaging defeat which heaped more pressure on Liam Rosenior, but Richards admitted after he felt sorry for Chelsea.

“I felt a little bit sorry for Chelsea because they had a plan,” he told The Rest Is Football.

“It looked like the plan was working. The game opened up a little bit and then, in games, it’s all about moments, isn’t it?

“And Chelsea don’t defend in the key moment and then don’t score when they’re on top.

“And then Manchester City, we’re always going to take the opportunity once it comes, because they just have quality players and players who have to win, you know what I mean?”
