Chelsea vs Manchester City – LIVE!
Manchester City shook off the effect of a Covid outbreak in their ranks to beat Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge and place themselves firmly in the Premier League combine on Sunday.
City manager Pep Guardiola had six players unavailable after positive, but his team responded brilliantly with goals from Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne that dismantled Chelsea within 16 minutes of the first half.
A fourth defeat in six league games leaves Chelsea in eighth position with 26 problems after two more games than City.
44min: Almost a quarter! Sterling to Foden to Gundogan for a kick to the rear wheel that sinks into the side of the far post.
42min: Will Lampard make any adjustments at halftime? Will he help?
38min: Lampard scowling at his players on the bench and they are the men opposite the boys. It’s as if Chelsea hadn’t been in a rush before.
35min: THREE! Sterling crosses, tries to get around Mendy, passes before hitting the post . . . and De Bruyne swallows the rebound.
It’s downright embarrassing for Chelsea and Lampard.
28min: Chelsea is in and can’t put her foot on the ball. Cancelo has a remote pop that whistles over Mendy’s crossbar.
It is brutal. Chelsea is cast aside to her right with Zinchenko, De Bruyne and Foden combining for deadly effect.
It is from here.
21min: A quick double as the supplier becomes the scorer to see Foden beat Mendy at the near post.
19min: They have failed this time! Gundogan shoots home from the edge of the area.
16min: What a pass from Cancelo and you wouldn’t need anyone to pass the ball to the back of the net, but place it on the side of the far post! Lucky.
12 min: Penalty shout for Chelsea when Rodri loses the ball to Werner and crosses to the forward to recover the ball and almost fouls. A close call.
