Mancini cites Cole in tunnel spat

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini suggested Chelsea defender Ashley Cole was at the centre of a tunnel bust-up following the Londoners’ 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge.

Although it seemed reasonably peaceful after the final whistle – Andre Villas-Boas and Mario Balotelli exchanged a friendly greeting – there was some underlying tension at the manner of Chelsea’s victory.
