Chelsea boss Frank Lampard speaking to Sky Sports: "For ten minutes we were good, then they started to play and we concede two poor goals back to back in the game. It knocked us and we didn't react well, we allowed the space for Kevin de Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan for the first goal. Serious lessons in the first half, good character in the second half but then the game was done.
"Everyone a month ago saying we could win the league I was pretty sure in terms of a rebuild, the ban and the youth that there were going to be periods of pain we were going to go through. When a team gives you a problem it has to be dealt with but we didn't."
On emotion compared to after Arsenal game: "It's not the same emotion, the first half against Arsenal was lethargic but today City were showing real personality and control on the ball. That's when you get tested and I'm not leaning on the youth because I thought they were good - Billy Gilmour and Callum Hudson-Odoi with his goal was positive. At the minute we're in a little period, five or six games that we've struggled. If you go back to City and Liverpool in their transition periods there were periods of pain and you have to get through that.
"I've sat there and had these days and then lifted a trophy at the end of the year. We bounced back then because we had a spirit in the dressing room and any player in football will have periods like that. Some other defeats for other teams have been painful. We have to take it on the chin, this is football.
"We have character - we have 16 games unbeaten. A month ago people are asking where is this going to go, when are you signing a new contract and now they're saying the opposite. I'll be the first to look at myself today but I know where we're at and I know what it takes to churn out the level that City were at today. It's normal that we take knocks but now is a test."
'Today was painful in the first half'
FT: Chelsea 1-3 Man City
Chelsea
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard, speaking to BBC Sport: "Mistakes, individual mistakes, not getting close enough. They punished us. If you want to reach the top level which City have been for a few years now you have to accept the pressures. The second half we competed but at 3-0 the game was pretty much done.
"I am not trying to talk up the last 20 minutes of the game because at 3-0 the vitals of the game have changed but I was still looking for a reaction.
"I am not putting ourselves down. I am the man to have the reality check and there will be work and at times pain. Today was painful in the first half in football terms because their level of play show where we need to aspire to. In the second half I saw a reaction but the work needs to be done."
Post update
FT: Chelsea 1-3 Man City
Manchester City
Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne, speaking to BBC Sport: "We needed five or 10 minutes to come into the game a bit but after that we found the rhythm. At the right time we took our chances and leading 3-0 at half time made it a little easier to play realistic football. Just a shame for the last goal in the last minute.
"We are not even halfway yet. It is weird. We were not 100% ready physically and mentally after the summer, we regrouped really well and then in December you win a couple of games and climbing the table.
"We are going to fight and it is the only thing we can do."
'The way we played today is how we have won titles in the past'
FT: Chelsea 1-3 Man City
Manchester City
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola speaking to Sky Sports: "They press and push in the first minutes we suffered a little bit because we didn't concede almost anything except the goal in the last minute but we play really well. The result is excellent at Stamford Bridge but the way we play was really great you can't win titles without playing like that.
"Chelsea one of strongest teams they are suffering from last game but you see the quality of their players and the bench. We had a plan we tried to play like we have in the past and it worked. The players were excellent in every way especially with the ball. We cannot play like other teams, we have to play in our rhythm and attack in the right moment. We won titles in that way, more patient. We missed a bit of this tempo and today we had it.
"We don't have the physicality and quality of players to make quick transitions, maybe Raheem Sterling and Kevin de Bruyne but the others haven't played with the ball. You create problems and that's what we have to do. From the keeper to the striker we have to put the ball on the grass, make 1000 passes and pick the right moment."
On if things have changed at City: "Same manager, same backroom staff, the players are the same and the ideas are completely the same. The way we won leagues and titles and other things is the way we played today. The tempo we have missed in the past, today we recovered it."
On Phil Foden: "So proud - he never dropped one bit of his energy he can play up front in all four positions. He has a sense of goal, he scored a fantastic goal. We rely on him incredibly, for England and the national team, he will be a top player because he's so clever and calm. He made another great performance today."
'An important win'
FT: Chelsea 1-3 Man City
Manchester City
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, speaking to BBC Sport: "We played really well. Unfortunately the last goal but the result at Stamford Bridge is fantastic. Today we were back like we were two or three seasons ago. An important win at Chelsea away.
"The Premier League is weird for everything [this season]. Everything is weird, just have to be focused during the games but otherwise relax. Hopefully in the Premier League in the last six, seven games we can be there fighting."
'Today we have shown we can win the big games'
FT: Chelsea 1-3 Man City
Manchester City
Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne speaking to Sky Sports: "I think after five or ten minutes we found our rhythm - the beginning was a bit lacking and I was in a bit of a different role today but after that we played very well. We took our chances at the right time and defensively were solid for 90 minutes it's a shame we conceded that goal in the last minute.
"We have different players so we play different this year so we have adjusted to our personnel but the team is finding more rhythm in the last month we are playing better. When we had chances today we took them and leading 3-0 at half time meant we could play more realistic in second half."
On playing in false 9 position: "Bit bizarre in beginning, I've done it a few times in my career obviously we have a lot forwards out and the coach asked me to do this job so I tried my best to do it as good as possible
"Important that we win one of these big games, this year we have played some good games but not won any of them so today we have shown we can win the big games. We're still fighting an uphill battle but we are getting closer that's all we can do now.
"The years we were champions we were winning these big games - it's a bit different this year because everyone is losing points. We had a bad start but we are coming back a bit so it's a good thing we're here fighting and that's all we can do now."
On the strange results of the season: "I don't really have an explanation for it - it is what it is. Every game we play there's never a feeling it's going to be easy. You need to be here 100% for every game if you're only at 95% then you're not going to win the game and that's what a lot of teams have done this year."
Man City blew Chelsea away, you would be sat there as a Chelsea player thinking they're going to have to ride the storm here but they didn't. It could've been five or six at half time. The first five minutes and the last 30 seconds, they're the only times Chelsea looked like doing anything.

Henry: Frank looks furious.
Chelsea players all hugging and chatting on the pitch.
Zero passion today, where was the fighting spirit?
Lots of questions and the 17 game unbeaten streak feels a distant memory.
Mark: Werner is a very good striker, but I wonder if he made right choice in joining Chelsea ATM. Both Giroud this season & Abraham on last seasons form must be a bit miffed at not getting on the pitch

Victory moves Manchester City into fifth but they have a game in hand on Liverpool and Manchester United. Win that and Pep Guardiola's side would be just one point off the top.
Things are shaping up for a very exciting title race.
'Hudson-Odoi has shown he can make a difference'
Chelsea 1-3 Man City
Rob Green
Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live
Brilliant run from Kai Havertz, the one time in the whole game that Man City were stretched after being so tight and compact defensively for the whole game. That allowed Callum Hudson-Odoi to get in some space and Oleksander Zinchenko put him under pressure but great ball from Havertz, good finish from Hudson-Odoi. He's impressed since he came on and shown he can make a difference.
