Bafetimbi Gomis kept his nerve in front of goal in the closing
moments or Jonjo Shelvey's horribly deflected free-kick gone
the other side of Joe Hart's post, the sense of deflation would
have been acute. "It was a really big win," said the City
captain, Vincent Kompany. "We have had two weeks to clear
our heads. I thought the performance was good other than in
the first 20 minutes. It should have been more comfortable, but
we will take that after the last month or so. We have given
ourselves a challenge, but football is made of challenges."
Nine minutes into this match the challenge looked very
daunting. Swansea had just beaten Arsenal and drawn at
Everton, and now they were a goal up at Manchester City.
Then the news trickled through from Stamford Bridge that
Jose Mourinho's side were enjoying another very
straightforward afternoon. It was not even December, and if
this state of affairs continued the points gap would be in
double figures.
