Joleon Lescott has admitted that he doesn’t know why Manchester City can’t seem to win games on their travels after they have only picked up four points from a possible 18 in the league so far this season.

On Sunday, Manuel Pellegrini’s men fell to their fourth away league defeat in six after they were beaten 1-0 by Sunderland and that came after scoring 12 goals in just two home games.

Centre-back, Lescott, was speaking to Man City TV, and he has admitted that he doesn’t know the reason behind their poor form away from the Etihad Stadium.

“I’m not sure, it’s hard to say. It’s not like we feel any different going into the game.

“Obviously, the atmosphere and the surroundings are a lot different, but every team has to play away and at the minute, we just can’t put it all together and go on a run of results away from home.

“Yes, we win the games here and there. We won in the League Cup and then West Ham, but it’s been stop-start away from home, so we need to knuckle down now and pick up some points.”

He added: “Normally when you lose a game, you can put your finger on why and the reasons for that, but I can’t see that today.

“I honestly don’t believe we should have lost the game (at Sunderland) and it’s disappointing to come away with nothing.

“They defended well – you have got to give them some credit. As much as maybe we deserved to get something, their game-plan was spot-on.

“Similar to Cardiff, they worked hard. Every player worked extremely hard and did the job asked by the manager, obviously.

“We have got to give some credit to Sunderland, but we are disappointed with the result.”
