Pellegrini feels frustration

City had 25 shots in Monday night's
Etihad Stadium showdown against their
title rivals, but only managed to get three
on target in the 90 minutes.
The visitors were more dangerous, with a
third of their 18 shots testing Joe Hart in
the City goal and a further three hitting
the woodwork.
Even then, City
had chances to
snatch an
equaliser at the
death as David
Silva and Stevan
Jovetic both came
close to finding a
way past Petr
Cech.
Pellegrini pointed towards the absence of
two of his key players - Sergio Aguero
and Fernandinho - both of whom were
sidelined through injury.
"We had clear chances to score at least
two goals but didn't do it, and they had
two or three shots against the post," the
Chilean told Sky Sports.
"It was a very close game to play against
Chelsea without (Sergio) Aguero and
Fernandinho.
"It's important to note that we were
missing them, also Nasri and Javi Garcia.
We had to change the midfield.
"It was an important game but we'll
continue and we'll see. We're just two
points behind Arsenal."
