Chelsea aren’t exactly the team with confidence in the sky, but against Manchester City they more than held their own.
Despite two quick forced substitutions, City defended easily.
The fact that City themselves played rather snooty football for 45 minutes had something to do with it.
Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland weren’t in the game for the guests, either Dream London’s final deal didn’t come as a deflected ball from Chukwuemeka went against the post.
After a possible thunderous sermon in the dressing room, the game changed completely: City suddenly went wild.
Rodri equalized the post statistic, the tidal wave just passed hours in the inevitable 0-1.
De Bruyne served Jack Grealish, who served Riyad Mahrez – they were both on the pitch for less than 4 minutes – with masterful precision for 0-1.
It must be said: goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga held back incomprehensibly at the combination of substitute duo.
Chelsea flipped the switch with little fresh strength, but he was no match for the real Manchester City.
