Manchester City are a lucky team, says Chelseas Jose Mourinho Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has rejected Tim Sherwoods claim that Manchester City are the best team on the planet and insists the Premier League leaders have been lucky this season. Spurs manager Sherwood said City were peerless after his side were thrashed 5-1 at home by Manuel Pellegrinis men. But ahead of Chelseas trip to the Etihad on Monday, Mourinho said City have been assisted by referees. The reality is they have many crucial decisions in their favour, he said. Man Citys lucky breaks 26 December: 2-1 win v Liverpool - Raheem Sterling puts the ball in the net to give the Reds the lead, but is incorrectly flagged offside. - Luis Suarez has appeals for a penalty turned down in the closing minutes after having his shirt tugged by Joleon Lescott. 12 January: 2-0 win v Newcastle - Cheick Tiotes long-range equaliser is ruled out after an offside Yoan Gouffran is judged to have interfered with play. 29 January: 5-1 win v Tottenham - Trailing 1-0, Spurs have a goal harshly disallowed for offside when Michael Dawson touches in Christian Eriksens free-kick. - Spurs defender Danny Rose is sent off despite appearing to get a touch on the ball before being penalised for fouling Edin Dzeko. The striker steps up to score the resulting penalty and put City 2-0 in front.
