(GSM) – Roberto Mancini was “angry” following his side’s heartbreaking last-minute defeat at the hands of Manchester United at Eastlands. Paul Scholes scored a header deep into injury time to end the match 1-0 in favor of United.

The result keeps United very much in the title race, right behind league leaders Chelsea. Meanwhile Mancini’s City could lose their Champions League position if Tottenham beat the Blues later today.

After the derby defeat, Mancini spoke with Sky Sports about his disappointment and anger.

“That’s football, it’s incredible, but for us it doesn’t change anything, we have another four games.

“We are very disappointed to lose and I’m very angry but always positive.

“We had some chances and we didn’t deserve to lose but that’s football.

“We played a good game but it was difficult for us and United, and when Scholes scored in the last few seconds it was unlucky.

“This doesn’t change the situation for fourth place – the crucial match will be against Tottenham here.”
