Chelsea fail to make possession count as Manchester City secure 2-1 victory

MANCHESTER CITY leapfrogged Chelsea in the Premier League table following a display of attacking intent from both sides on Saturday evening.

Chelsea opened the scoring when N’Golo Kante temporarily morphed into a striker, using his pace to get on the end of Mateo Kovacic’s pass before nudging his finish under Ederson.

Kevin De Bruyne equalised for the hosts, cutting inside onto his left before being served a slice of luck as his shot deflected past Kepa off Kurt Zouma, but there was no luck involved in the winner.
