The Blues were defeated on spot-kicks by 10-man City after the Belgian's effort was saved by Jack Butland, increasing the pressure on the champions' under-fire manager.

Chelsea were knocked out of the League Cup after losing 5-4 on penalties to Stoke City.

Eden Hazard missed the decisive spot-kick to increase the pressure on under-fire Blues boss Jose Mourinho.

Jon Walters gave Stoke the lead with an excellent strike in the 52nd minute, before Loic Remy sent the tie to extra time with a dramatic last-gasp equaliser.

The hosts were reduced to 10 men just seconds in second-half injury time when Phil Bardsley was shown a second yellow card, but Chelsea were unable to make the breakthrough in the additional 30 minutes.

And Mourinho's men were made to pay in the shoot-out, with Hazard's effort saved by Jack Butland.
