Roberto Mancini praised his side’s commitment and spirit after Manchester City sent Chelsea crashing 4-2 at Stamford Bridge.
"This was not the best performance under my management, that was at Stoke and we lost," he smiled after getting the better of countryman Carlo Ancelotti.
"We dominated that game but we didn’t do so in this one."
We concentrated well and squeezed the space that we allowed Chelsea when they attacked. The first half was tactical and we played well in the second half," he told the club's official website.
"We showed great spirit and great commitment after what happened to us at Stoke," declared the Italian.
"It was fantastic that we won because it was important for the three points, for the table, for the mentality and for the future as we battle to finish in the top four.
"Wayne Bridge coped well with everything that happened and Carlos Tevez was tremendous. In fact if he plays like that he can go back to Argentina every week and come back before the game!" smiled the manager.
Zun bo... Siao every week Tevez do that confirm plus chop jetlag one leh.
Not to mention the training that he will miss.
