The course of the match
4 ‘ – ERROR! Steffen took Rodri’s backpass for granted. The referee gives a free kick on the edge of the penalty area. Fortunately, Ziyech’s free kick was successfully blocked by Gundogan!
sixteen’ – POLE! Cancelo’s breakthrough gave De Bruyne a chance to face Mendy head-on. But his flat shot was blocked by the post! Chelsea 0-0 Man City
18 ‘ – OBJECTIVE! By turning his body in front of Thiago, Gundogan got room to shoot. Mendy can’t control the speed of the ball!

28 ‘ – Chelsea blocked the Man City defense, but had trouble finding the shooting space. Several times the shots were blocked.

Meanwhile, Chelsea manager Frank Lampard is determined to open 2021 with a win after a 3-1 loss to Arsenal and only drew 1-1 against Aston Villa in the last two games.
“We have to keep the energy level high. We also have to be more disciplined defensively and be quicker when attacking,” Lampard said.
“I believe in this team. If we play our best, we will have a chance to beat anyone. [City] They are a very strong team, very well managed, they do not concede much and they have many threats in attack. So we have to focus on ourselves and be the best. “
