Thomas Tuchel’s army, who had momentarily lost focus at the end of the first half, could have taken a break between halves with a deficit of two goals, but things were not so bad for the guests.
In the 44th minute, the “people of the people” were led by Raheem Sterling, who had halted the nearly three-month drought of goals in the English Premier League.
Just a minute later, young Billy Gilmour broke the rules against Gabriel Jesus in the penalty area, and veteran Sergio Agüero took the 11-meter penalty time.
The Argentine hoped to outwit the rival goalkeeper by performing a treacherous wrist A pass to the side displaced the defense, allowing Edouardui Mendy to slip away to score the goal.
This end of the half woke up the sleepy “blues” that dominated after the break.
The visitors kept up the pressure to tie the game when, in the 63rd minute, Cesaro Azpilicuetos broke through the middle and found himself alone with the goalkeeper, although Hakimas Ziyechas made a great block.
The blue had broken out twice after successful strikes from Tim Werner and Callum Hudson-Odoi, but both times the goals were not scored due to a sideline.
In the end, however, the pressure from the London guests brought sweet fruits: in the referee’s second added minute, the victory was snatched away by Marcos Alonso.
A Manchester City victory would have guaranteed them the Premier League trophies today.
It is true that the title is still accessible to them by hand. For example, if Manchester United lose the 11 Aston Villa in Birmingham tomorrow, the Red Devils will lose even the theoretical chances of catching up with the league leaders.
After the third consecutive victory, Chelsea are in third place with 64 points.
