The opening weekend of the Premier League season was certainly not short on drama, but it already looks like the market has begun shifting in favour of Manchester City.
Manuel Pellegrini’s side comfortably beat West Bromwich Albion 3-0 with Yaya Toure playing a pivotal role, and lead the league after the first round of games played. Unsurprisingly both City and Chelsea are riding high in the bookies’ estimations with the former just edging out the latter in terms of price. However, with Chelsea slipping early and failing to overcome a gritty Swansea side, the wave of support is now moving away from the defending champions. The Eva Carneiro controversy hasn’t helped matters either, with Mourinho not taking too kindly to the well known physio reducing his side to nine players when she rushed to the field to treat Eden Hazard.
Popular Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro has been handed an effective demotion after the club axed her from her regular role as match day doctor. It means that Carneiro will no longer be on the Chelsea bench and will now only operate from the club’s training base at Cobham.
Carneiro ran on to the pitch with Jon Fearn to treat Eden Hazard during Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Swansea. At that time, Chelsea were down to ten following the red card to Thibault Courtois, and Hazard’s treatment meant that he was taken out of play, effectively reducing Chelsea to nine players. Mourinho was furious (check Video below) and called his medical staff “naive” after the game
