This Sunday afternoon at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea was thoroughly beaten by Manchester City (3-0). With this success, the Skyblues are now six points behind Arsenal with an extra game to play.
A few hours ago in an interview, Manchester City’s coach Pep Guardiola nearly admitted defeat regarding their chances of winning the championship. That was before his team’s strong performance against Chelsea this Sunday afternoon at Stamford Bridge. The Skyblues scattered the Blues (3-0) and made a significant leap in the standings. Especially after Arsenal’s defeat against Bournemouth on Saturday. The four-time English champions in the last five seasons now only trail the Gunners by six points with an extra match to play. This highlights the importance of the end of the Premier League season…
Against Chelsea, a team in poor form if we exclude the FA Cup quarter-final win against Port Vale, Manchester City perfectly handled this crucial encounter, extending their unbeaten run in the league to nine games.
Cherki in great form
After a relatively uneventful first half marked by a few unthreatening situations from the Blues, the pace of the game picked up thanks to the Skyblues. And one man, in particular, stood out: Rayan Cherki. The former Lyon player made a significant impact in the second half, delivering two crucial assists for the first two goals, scored by O’Reilly and Guehi. The 22-year-old Frenchman now has ten assists in the league in his debut season in England. With just over twenty minutes left, Jérémy Doku took advantage of the passive Chelsea defense to seal the match. This victory for Manchester City completely revitalizes the end of the championship, especially with an enticing Manchester City – Arsenal clash scheduled for next week…
