Mancini: we didn’t deserve to lose

EMBATTLED Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini does not believe his side deserved to be on the end of a third successive defeat against unfancied Europa League opponents Lech Poznan.

The Polish side had the better of the first half and went in 1-0 up thanks to Dimitrije Injac’s 30th-minute volley before a much-changed City side rallied to equalise through Emmanuel Adebayor five minutes into the second period.

That goal looked likely to provide some good news following back-to-back defeats against Arsenal and Wolves, but a freak goal from Manuel Arboleda and a glorious Mateusz Mozdzen effort saw the hosts steal the points in the final five minutes.
