Input: Football fans the world over witnessed an outstanding Manchester City performance as they ripped champions Chelsea to shreds on Sunday afternoon and laid down a marker in the Barclays Premier League title race. Not so the author of the official write-up of the 3-0 defeat on Chelsea's website, who slipped on a pair of dark blue-tinted spectacles and proceeded to pen one of the most deluded match reports ever seen. It was as though Jose Mourinho, who bafflingly labelled the one-sided scoreline as 'fake' in his post-match press conference, had scribbled it down on the coach home. The report begins with mention of a disallowed Ramires goal, which apparently happened at the beginning of the second-half when the score was still 1-0. Anyone remember that?Chelsea were humbled 3-0 by Manchester City on Sunday afternoonBut the official Chelsea match report told a very different storyThey claimed the disallowed Ramires goal 'changed complexion' of gameIt suggests that the champions were dominant for long spellsBut in reality they didn't have a noteworthy chance until 70th minuteReport points finger of blame at City for 'WWE-style' challengesIt concludes by saying this was a contest of 'fine margins' 
 Question:The intention is to present _ as bullies, whose devilish anti-football tactics trumped Chelsea's beautifully aesthetic game.

Manchester City
