  1. DISALLOWED GOAL

    Man City 2-1 Chelsea

    And VAR decides...no goal. Was Sterling offside? He looks disgusted at the decision.

  2. VAR check

    Man City 3-1 Chelsea

    VAR is involved...

    GOAL - Man City 3-1 Chelsea

    Raheem Sterling

    Surely that's it.

    Raheem Sterling, who has not been at his dynamic best, produces a lovely finish after bringing the ball down and beating Kepa Arrizabalaga with an angled finished.

  4. Man City 2-1 Chelsea

    It's a lovely attempt by Mount but it's wide.

  5. Man City 2-1 Chelsea

    Free-kick to Chelsea about 30 yards out. Mason Mount is standing over it...

  6. Man City 2-1 Chelsea

    Four added minutes. Will Chelsea do what Arsenal did earlier and score an equaliser at the death?

  7. Man City 2-1 Chelsea

    N'Golo Kante is on the charge and Chelsea are on the counter until Phil Foden goes in where it hurts. Great challenge by the teenager.

  8. 'City's fans are not happy'

    City are trying to slow it down, they are aware of Chelsea’s threat.

    But their supporters are not happy they are not seeing this off the way they are used to.

  9. Man City 2-1 Chelsea

    This has been a decent response from Manchester City after losing at Liverpool before the international break.

    They've shown bundles of spirit to come from behind against a good Chelsea side.

    Lampard has done really well at Chelsea. They have some top quality players but appear to have a couple of holes in important positions, centre back being one.

  11. Man City 2-1 Chelsea

    Ederson gets away with one.

    The City keeper has the ball at his feet and hits it straight at Michy Batshuayi. Fortunately there is no harm done but that was far too relaxed from Ederson.

  12. Man City 2-1 Chelsea

    This will be City's fifth straight home win if they hold out. Chelsea are minutes away from a first Premier League defeat since 22 September.

  13. Man City 2-1 Chelsea

    Willian unleashes a SCORCHER from outside the area. It stings the finger tips of Ederson but the officials award a goal kick.

    Chelsea are getting frustrated.

  14. Man City 2-1 Chelsea

    Chelsea have just over 10 minutes left to salvage something from this. They haven't been as dynamic in the second half but you wouldn't rule out them getting another goal.

    Grandstand finish?

    Aashish: Is Sterling playing in this game? Ultra quiet game.

  16. SUBSTITUTION

    Man City 2-1 Chelsea

    Sergio Aguero is waving to City's bench - he's wincing in pain and it looks like he has picked up an injury.

    This is not good news for Pep Guardiola who has already lost Rodri in this match.

    Gabriel Jesus is coming on.

    Mike Sizzy: Aguero ruining City's game. He's losing touch, age catching up on him.

  20. SUBSTITUTION

    Man City 2-1 Chelsea
