Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta apologised to the club’s fans after Manchester City’s 6-0 win at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.<\/p>\n

City’s demolition of the Blues was their heaviest defeat in 28 years \u00a0and made it four away losses in a row in all competitions for Maurizio Sarri’s side.<\/p>\n

Sergio Aguero hit a hat-trick, Raheem Sterling scored twice and Ilkay Gundogan was also on target as City ran riot to reclaim top spot from Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Chelsea slipped to sixth place on goal difference and are a point behind Manchester United in fourth as the race for Champions League qualification continues.<\/p>\n

The Blues have now lost three straight Premier League away games by an aggregate 12-0 scoreline and defender Azpilicueta acknowledged they were far from good enough.<\/p>\n

“It is one of the worst nights in my career. It is difficult to explain what happened,” he told\u00a0 Sky Sports <\/em> .<\/p>\n

“The first five or six minutes went well but that is not enough. It is very frustrating and disappointing. We are conceding a lot of goals and we cannot accept that.<\/p>\n

“When you lose 6-0 we have to accept we didn’t play well and made errors. We knew it would be tough.<\/p>\n

“When we won at Stamford Bridge [ a 2-0 victory in December ] it was because we played well and were together. Today was not the case.<\/p>\n

“All I can do is apologise to the fans because it is not acceptable.”<\/p>\n

The win puts Chelsea boss Sarri under mounting pressure at Stamford Bridge after he admitted last week that he struggles to motivate some of his players in west London.<\/p>\n

Sarri has enjoyed success in cup competitions since arriving from Napoli last summer, and has some crucial games coming up in the Europa League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chelsea face Malmo next time out on Thursday before a clash with Manchester United in the FA Cup, and play City again in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium on January 24.<\/p>\n

The Italian will be hoping he can turn the Blues’ form around in those outings, especially\u00a0with their next scheduled Premier League outing coming against third-placed Tottenham at the end of the month.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
