da 888casino： Manchester City have edged a five-goal thriller in the Community Shield, beating Chelsea 3-2 on Sunday at Villa Park.
The Blues took the led after 40 minutes, with Fernando Torres opening the scoring, only to be reduced to ten men soon after as Branislav Ivanovic was dismissed.
Three goals in 12 second-half minutes decided the game in the Etihad Stadium side’s favour, as Yaya Toure, Carlos Tevez and Samir Nasri all scored before a Ryan Bertrand consolation.
Roberto Mancini feels his side were good value for their triumph, but conceded that the red card had an impact on the game.
“It was a good performance. When Chelsea were leading 1-0, we played better,” the Italian trainer told Sky Sports.
“With the sending-off, it was difficult to see from the bench but it is an advantage to play with an extra player.
“It had an impact on the game. It is impossible to say no because 11 versus 11 is different. But we played better than Chelsea, played better football,” he opined.
Roberto Di Matteo defended Ivanovic for the challenge on Aleksandar Kolarov that saw the Serbian dismissed.
“It changed the game in favour of Manchester City. We competed very well and at that point were in the lead,” the Blues boss confessed.
“It was difficult in the second half against 10 men.
“The challenge had no intent to hurt the opposition. It was a sliding tackle and he got the ball as well.
“Sometimes a red card is given in those circumstances, sometimes it is not. But there was no intention to harm the opponent,” Di Matteo concluded.
