The clash of the 32nd day of the Premier League between Chelsea (6th) and Manchester City (2nd) kept its promises… but only for half-time. Indeed, upon returning from the locker room, the Cityzens completely turned the match around to win with authority at Stamford Bridge (0-3).
We had to wait until the 51st minute to see the match change. On an excellent pass from Rayan Cherki, Nico O’Reilly opened the scoring, launching his team perfectly. Chelsea barely had time to react when City hit the nail on the head six minutes later. Still in charge, Cherki, who offered a second assist, this time for Marc Guéhi.
Totally overwhelmed, the Blues never managed to reverse the trend. Jérémy Doku ended up sealing the fate of the match in the 68th minute, definitively putting an end to London’s hopes.
This success completely revives Manchester City in the title race. With a game in hand, Pep Guardiola’s men are just six points behind leader Arsenal. Better yet, a direct clash between the two teams is looming, promising an explosive duel for the lead in the championship.
For Chelsea, on the other hand, the blow is hard. This heavy defeat at home slows down their European ambitions and moves them four points away from 5th qualifying place for the Champions League. An evening marked by the Blues for Londoners.
To summarize
Manchester City won 3-0 at Chelsea thanks to a brace of assists from Rayan Cherki. The Cityzens come back to 6 points behind Arsenal before a crucial clash. Chelsea, beaten at home, miss an opportunity to get closer to the qualifying places in the Champions League.
