The win boosted Manchester City’s title hopes as they closed the gap on Arsenal, while Chelsea’s chances of qualifying for next season’s Champions League took a blow.
According to Squawka, Rosenior's side set an unwanted record of losing three consecutive Premier League matches without scoring for the first time since 1998.
The run of poor results under the English manager has set the fanbase on fire as they call for his sack, despite most wanting a loss to dent rivals Arsenal's title hopes.
Rosenior reacts to Chelsea’s loss
Rosenior admitted that Chelsea were not good enough against Manchester City, particularly in the second half when their opponents scored three goals.
“Not good enough in the second half. We didn't start well. We had moments to clear the box and keep the ball, but we didn't. They were camped in our half for the first five minutes, and then we conceded a goal,” he told BBC Sport.
“Then it's a similar story for the past month now in terms of dealing with setbacks. If you go down against teams as good as this, what you have to do for the next five minutes is to stay in the game. It ended up being a really, really difficult second half.”
The former RC Strasbourg manager took responsibility for the defeat and added that he will rebuild the team’s habits and values, which will translate to results.
He nailed their second-half performance on lack of confidence and warned that his team must improve as they have another huge game next week.
“We can't forget that we were playing against a team in massive form, pushing for the title. But we need to win games like this. That's why I have come to the club,” he added.

“When you make these errors, the feeling and flow of the game changes. We have to make sure we need to do better in those moments if we want to win a game of football.”
The manager, even though he has not dismissed this season, is already looking forward to the next season and confirmed that he will sit with the board to decide the business for next season.
