Manchester City moved a step closer to sealing the Premier League trophy after they beat Chelsea 1-0 and extended their lead to 18 points.
Match Events
13' BLOCK! Fabregas loses possession and it allows Aguero to pounce. The Argentine tries to find space to shoot, but he cannot force his effort through a wall of blue shirts.
24' Zinchenko is fortunate that he doesn't make a great deal of contact with Moses. He was out of control and had he touched the Chelsea's man shin he may have been sent off.
42' OFFSIDE! De Bruyne catches Chelsea out at the back with a quick free-kick. Aguero collects, but scuffs his effort at goal. Bernardo Silva slides it home, only for the flag to be raised for offside. Aguero was the one that moved too soon.
46' GOAL! Man City 1-0 Chelsea (B.Silva)
The home side end Chelsea's resistance as the Portuguese pokes an effort home at the back post. A mistake from Christensen allowed City in down the left inside channel. David Silva seized on the loose ball and fired it across the face of goal. Bernardo Silva got the march on Alonso and was able to place his effort into the ground and past Courtois.
56' SAVE! David Silva surges forward into the final third and goes for the blast towards the top corner, but Courtois makes a solid stop.
76' The game is almost at walking pace as Chelsea are allowing City to pass the ball at will. It's not a good look for Conte and his team.
81' Giroud latches on to Fabregas' ball over the top, but he can only guide a headed effort harmlessly wide of the post.

am still very much surprise🤔 Chelsea won the primer league last season and could not spend good money on players ?? and belive they can beat man city?? Chelsea can't even beat Watford arsenal not to talk of man u or city? I can't imagine Chelsea managing players this is crazy!!! you bought strikes but they never get started? this is the reason some players don't come to Chelsea?? if old players don't deliver then as a coach you make changes!! anyway MANCHESTER CITY spend big so let them enjoy the fruit of their labours shine on city Chelsea sucks!!!

Just 2 things I don't understand about Conte, 1. What's the point of Courtois passing the ball to a defender then the defender passes it back to him then he passes it again to another defender and it continues like that, until they get cornered and have to clear the ball away. 2. Time says 93:15, Courtois gets the ball and still repeats the above process, where's the urgency in our game, 1:0 down is a bad result to us. I like Conte as a manager but he's too repetitive and stubborn KTBFFH

Conte has failed Chelsea. He sold some good players in the middle of the season instead of bringing quality players again. He is also using the same formation.

very poor performance by Chelsea. Another day another mistake by Christensen. I think he is not the kind of player who has the confidence to play in the big matches. Very dissapointed with Conte and his tactics. I think Chelsea must change the formation. they must try with 4-2-3-1 or something. I don't get the point of playing hazard as a false no. 9. He's a kind of player who tries to get deeper by making solo runs from the wide areas but Conte expects him to finish the chances created. Hazard might be very frustrated by the way Conte is handling him. I think the formation attached to this comment must be tried by Conte. They surely aren't gonna get the goals if they keep parking the bus even after being 1-0 down to the opponents

Pep Guardiola At Barca, neither sold nor bought many players. Won everything! At Bayern, sold likes of Kroos etc. Won everything! At City, Bought Full Backs. Won everything! I must say he is something special. Great CDM as a player, even greater as Manager.

pep is the best coach there is. He stamps his style on the team and that's ball possession and attack. No wonder all teams that play against him only defend.

PEP was so good in TRANSFER MARKET & IMPROVING HIS PLAYER beyond othera expectation. PEP brought B.SILVA From MONACO & He was suffering from injury that time. But PEP he never loss his hope foe B.SILVA & Now he shows to the world that if u work hard you will get success. The relation bitween a player & Coach be like PEP & B.SILVA. He supported SILVA, Trusted him, He always kept Faith on him since he arrived & Finally B. SILVA had gave everythng to PEP . He dint Let him down & SILVA Prove that he will be one of the best player in future.
