Manchester City struck twice through Julian Alvarez and Riyad Mahrez to sink Chelsea, with the latter scoring a magnificent free-kick.
Mahrez broke the deadlock with an excellent free-kick that left Edouard Mendy routed to the spot. Trevoh Chalobah gave away a silly free-kick on the edge of the area and he would have instantly regretted his decision.
Shortly after, Alvarez pounced in the box to double Manchester City’s lead against Chelsea.
