Brian Kidd: 'Manchester City players were tremendous'

Manchester City caretaker manager Brian Kidd praises his side after they come back from 3-0 down to defeat Chelsea 4-3 in a friendly in St Louis.

Manchester City caretaker manager Brian Kidd has praised the togetherness of the club's squad after they came from behind to defeat Chelsea on Friday.

City were 3-0 down after 53 minutes, but hit back to win 4-3, and Kidd believes that his players deserve their victory after a 'draining couple of weeks'.

After the match, Kidd told ESPN: "I thought we were unlucky to go in 2-0 down but the players were tremendous. They have had a tough couple of weeks after losing the manager and the FA Cup final. It has been a draining, emotional couple of weeks.

"They have done great work in New York with the appearances and events for the club, they have done great work. We only had one training session, so that might be the secret. You can't say enough about them."

City will meet Chelsea again on Saturday night in a second friendly fixture in New York.
