Match report: Chelsea 0-3 Manchester City
After a season dominated by long throws, set-piece wrestling and rigid, overly controlled football, all of a sudden the overwhelming artistry and firepower at Manchester City’s disposal is threatening to take over when it matters most.
This game was taken away from Chelsea during a blistering spell of attacking at the start of the second half and, by the end, it was impossible not to feel the same applied to the title race. Strike up the Jaws music – Pep Guardiola’s sharks are circling. There was blood in the water after Arsenal’s defeat by Bournemouth and, after meandering through a tepid first half, City eventually found their bite at Stamford Bridge.

Man City reaction
Marc Guehi
In the second half, especially, we did well. We’ve got fantastic players like this guy [looks at Cherki]. We just want to improve, keep our feet on the ground, recover and go on to the next one.
I don’t think it matters [whether Arsenal were watching]. I know it’s a cliché but the most important thing is that we did the job today.
Rayan Cherki
When I gave the pass to [Guehi], I didn’t know if he’d score! But when he did I was very happy for him and the team.
I don’t feel the pressure. I just want to play with my teammates, give them pleasure, give them good passes.
