St. Louis: Manchester City overcame a three-goal deficit to beat rivals Chelsea 4-3 on Thursday in the opener of a two-game U.S. tour. Edin Dzeko's second goal of the game tied it in the 85th minute for Man City and Micah Richards scored the stoppage-time winner by redirecting a header into the net.
"They've had a tough couple of weeks, losing the manager, losing the F.A. Cup final," Man City assistant manager Brian Kidd said. "You can't say enough about them. They are a very talented squad, no doubt about it." cKidd is temporarily in charge after Roberto Mancini was fired one season after winning the English League title. Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini is the anticipated replacement.
"That's in the papers so everyone's speaking about it," Richards said. "You never know, sometimes there's always late runners coming in." Jose Mourinho appears headed back for a stint as manager for Chelsea after failing with Real Madrid. "Every manager might change slightly during the years," Chelsea goalie Petr Cech said. "It'll be great to see him back, and we'll see if we can reproduce the same magic."
Whatever happens, Cech said there'll be pressure. "In a big club you always have the same expectations, no matter who's the manager," Cech said. "You always want to win every time." In a game played before a standing-room crowd of 48,623 at the St. Louis Cardinals' Busch Stadium, Juan Mata set up a pair of first-half goals for Chelsea against the general
