Title’s rehearsal for Manchester City with Chelsea invited!

Give the title to Manchester City from now on! The “citizens” left no room for doubt, and with a dominant appearance they broke the resistance of Chelsea (1-0) at the “Etihad”, shouting that this year’s title will end up on the … blue side of Manchester!

“Gold” scorer for Pep Guardiola’s team that reached twelve consecutive victories in the Premier (!), was the Kevin De Bruyne with a magical finish in the 70th minute, which he brought to an end City at +13 from the second Chelsea!

The match:



Anyone waiting to see a full first half, with many phases in between two of the best attacks of England, probably disappointed. THE Manchester City Although he was in complete control of the rhythm, closing Chelsea in 1/3 of his field for most of the first 45 minutes, however, he could not substantially threaten Kepa’s goal.

For their part, the “blues”, remembered their good old self in the defensive part, as apart from the fact that they kept the hosts comfortably away from their home, they managed to “freeze” and bring the rhythm to their own measures. . However, Chelsea finished without a final in the match the first half, for the first time since May 2008 in a championship match!

The first moment in the match came at 14th minute with a weak header by Stones, with his shot De Bruyne from a side position, Kepa can easily get out ten minutes later. The biggest moment of the “citizens” was recorded in the 40th minute, with the Spanish goalkeeper of Chelsea coming out in an impressive way the four-by-four of Grillis.

Different scene in the second half, with the game slowly gaining a … wild beauty, after the choice of Chelsea to leave the defensive plan and to “get out” organized and with demands from its area.

In fact, he almost shocked the hosts with the … good morning of the replay, when Λουκάκου came out on the back of the defense and shot from the height of the big area, with him Anderson to save the unique four-a-four of Belgium! Two minutes later Alonso’s long shot went out.

With the completion of one hour of struggle, the “citizens” gradually began to increase their intensity and to press the opponent’s defense. In the 63rd minute, De Bruyne warned with a direct foul, while five minutes later, Sterling’s cross went just wide.

In the 70th minute, however, the balance changed, with De Bruyne putting City in the lead, with a magical energy and an elusive fake shot from 20 meters in the lower left corner of Kepa!

Moments later, Werner “reached” the draw, but due to Chelsea’s bad luck, Laport stopped the German forward for four. This was essentially the last phase of the Londoners in the match, as despite the fact that they were chasing the score, they could not create dangers in the remaining minutes in the home team’s frames.

The last good moment of the match was recorded in the 84th minute, with his shot Fontaine to leave just above the hearth, and City thus miss the opportunity for 2-0.
