Manchester City won 3: 1 as a guest of Chelsea in a match on matchday 17 of the English Premier League. Joseph Guardiola’s boys scored three goals in the first half and showed that they will not miss Liverpool and Manchester United to break the lead. City’s team was hit hard by the pandemic, but that’s unclear. Chelsea’s expensive selection still does not justify their high price and managed to score an honorable goal only in overtime.
The Chelsea hosts started better and had good positions in the opening minutes. The most interesting moment was when Rodry took Timo Werner to the penalty area, but Anthony Taylor decided not to play a penalty.
Exactly half an hour later, Kevin de Bruyne was left alone against Chelsea goalkeeper Mandy, but was unable to knock on the door.

In the 18th minute Ilkay Gundogan received the ball around the edge of the penalty area to the left of the attack. The German made a nice feint down the middle and hit the ground hard in the left corner for 0: 1.
Just two minutes later Phil Fouden scored near the left for 0: 2. Kevin de Bruyne found his teammate discovered near the door. Fouden shot the ground in the right corner.

In minute 34 Kevin de Bruyne brought Rahim Stirling alone against the goalie immediately after the center. The Englishman lost confidence and took cover, but still decided to shoot after circling the goalkeeper and shaking the left crossbar. De Bruyne ran and scored with an addition of about two meters.
At the end of the first half there was some leveling of the game, but this did not lead to a new change in the result.
After the break, Guardiola opted for a solid game and a solid game at the back. Still, the “citizens” were able to score more goals, but once Rodri was unable to come back with a header from the stable close to Mandy. The attackers made several good shots, but the ball never hit the gate.

The Londoners tried to return at least one goal, but were constantly colliding with the wall in front of them. There was also a lack of creativity in Frank Lampard’s students, who became increasingly disillusioned.
However, Chelsea did score an honorable goal in the 92nd minute. Callum Hudson-Odoy he caught the ball close after a parallel pass from Kai Haverts – 1: 3.

After this victory, Manchester City accumulated 29 points, but have two postponed games with Atton Villa and Everton. The team is in fifth place four points behind leaders Liverpool and Manchester United, who are one game ahead. Leicester is second with 32 points, but the “foxes” have not postponed a meeting until now.
Chelsea is in eighth place with 26 points from 17 games. The “Blues” are falling behind little by little and already the battle for a place in the Shampoo League seems very difficult. Frank Lampard may not be the manager of the “blues” anytime soon.
