3 things we learned from Chelseas 1-1 draw with Manchester City........... ... 1).This should have been a characteristic Mourinho road match - A draw away at the Etihad Stadium is a good result for Chelsea, so Jose Mourinho set up his team to defend and counter. They kept their shape well, denied City chances and were in control of most of the game. Once his team scored against 10- man City, it looked like theyd easily ride out a 1-0 win, and it probably would have finished 0-0 if Pablo Zabaleta never got sent off. 2).A red card made this game fun - Weirdly, Zabaletas red caused both teams to try things and open up a bit. Chelsea scored just five minutes after it, forcing 10-man City to start pushing for a goal, which they eventually got. Then, drawing against 10 men, Chelsea attacked during the finale. There was going to be no attacking at all without that red. Thanks, Pablo Zabaleta! 3).Despite their disappointment, Chelsea are title favorites - So, Frank Lampard scored to deny Chelsea a huge road win against a 10-man side. That sucks. It probably hurts a lot. But they still got an away draw against their biggest rivals for the title, so theyre looking like pretty big favorites to win it at this point.
