Chelsea stuns Manchester City, maintains EPL top spot

Chelsea rallied from a goal down to overcome Manchester City and stretch their winning sequence to eight Premier League matches.

Gary Cahill’s own goal gave City the lead but strikes from Diego Costa, Willian and Eden Hazard earned Antonio Conte’s side a 3-1 victory.

Chelsea fell behind when Cahill’s attempted interception looped over Thibaut Courtois but the Blues levelled through Costa.

The striker took his goal tally to 11 for the season with a turn and shot on the hour and 10 minutes later Willian gave Chelsea the lead, celebrating by holding aloft an armband honouring the victims of the Chapecoense air disaster.

Hazard’s breakaway goal at the death decided matters before Sergio Aguero and Fernandinho were sent off.
