Starting from Gvardiol’s handling error, Chelsea organized a sharp attack. Cole Palmer punished the Croatian centre-back’s second mistake to create an assist for Raheem Sterling to easily cushion the ball from close range into Man City’s net.

After that, Bernardo Silva crossed the ball into the Chelsea penalty area so centre-back Akanji jumped high and scored a dangerous header to equalize 2-2 for away team Man City.

In the second half, both of them still increased the speed for situations. Man City continues to take the lead.

Starting from Man City’s coherent attack, Foden pushed the ball down to Alvarez. The Argentinian player stretched just as Haaland crossed and finished from close range, increasing the score to 3-2.

However, Man City’s advantage did not last long. Starting from the attack launched by the player who just entered the field Mykhailo Mudryk, Conor Gallagher fired a thunderous shot that Ederson blocked but the ball flew out. Nicolas Jackson immediately rushed in and kicked Man City’s goal for the third time.

Man City will feel lucky when soon after, Sterling contested well. He won the ball from the Man City defender before passing the ball to put Malo Gusto in a position facing Ederson. Unfortunately for the Blues, the substitute’s shot went over the crossbar.

In the 86th minute, after his teammate’s shot was blocked by a Chelsea defender, midfielder Rodri immediately launched a strong rebound from outside the penalty area. Thiago Silva, in an attempt to put his foot out to block, accidentally changed the ball’s direction, leaving Robert Sanchez helpless as he watched Man City score fourth goal.
