Premier League: Manchester City triumphs in the cracker at Chelsea

In the duel of tactical foxes, Pep Guardiola and Manchester City managed to take revenge against Chelsea FC and team manager Thomas Tuchel. Manchester United suffered a surprising bankruptcy.

The game of Liverpool FC at the promoted Brentford FC is from 6.30 p.m. here in the live ticker.

119 days after the defeat in the Champions League final, the Citizens won 1-0 (0-0) at Stamford Bridge and pushed the Blues off the top of the Premier League table.

With the golden goal by Gabriel Jesus (53rd) Guardiola and Co. managed their first win against Tuchel’s Chelsea. The previous three duels in the cup, league and premier class all went to the former BVB coach.

Liverpool are the new leaders because City’s city rivals Manchester United lost 1-0 (0-0) at Aston Villa. Bruno Fernandes missed a penalty miserably over the goal in the third minute of stoppage time. Cristiano Ronaldo played through, but was goalless for the first time in the league.

“I think Cristiano Ronaldo will take the penalties from now on because Bruno shot someone who has not yet re-entered the earth’s atmosphere,” scoffed England football legend Gary Linecker via Twitter.

National player Antonio Rüdiger was in the Chelsea starting line-up. Timo Werner also played in front of national coach Hansi Flick and ex-DFB captain Michael Ballack after his League Cup goal on Tuesday, Kai Havertz came on after an hour.

Guardiola sets the record

Both attackers tried hard, but could not use their options. City came to several promising counter situations after the lead, but did not take advantage of them, sometimes negligently.

Guardiola set a club record with the success in London. The Spaniard scored his 221st victory with Manchester, overtaking club legend Les McDowall. With 304 games, the 50-year-old only needed around half as many games as McDowall (592) for this performance.
