Chelsea bring Manchester City's unbeaten start to the season to an end with a 2-0 victory at Stamford Bridge
Chelsea's N'Golo Kante scores his side's first goal of the game

Maurizio Sarri’s Chelsea inflicted on Manchester City their first defeat of the season yesterday, but this scoreline doesn’t come close to reflecting the story of the match.  

Goals from Chelsea’s French midfielder N’golo Kante, just before half-time, and a second-half header from defender David Luiz ended a run of seven victories for Pep Guardiola’s men.

Guardiola had no complaints after this defeat that saw his side toppled off the Premier League summit by title rivals Liverpool, who had won their match earlier in the day.
