Man City 3-0 Stoke: Title gap can be closed - Mancini

Following a 3-0 win over Stoke, Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini believes his side "have a chance" to close the gap on Premier League leaders Manchester United.

Goals from Pablo Zabaleta, Edin Dzeko, and a Sergio Aguero penalty defeated the Potters, and kept champions City seven points behind neighbours United.

Mancini says City played "really, really well", and is heartened by breaching Stoke's mean defence as much as his own team's clean sheet.
