Man City fight back to replace Chelsea in top four

Second-half goals from Erling Haaland and Phil Foden helped Manchester City to a 3-1 victory over Chelsea, as they replaced the Blues in the Premier League’s top four.

Noni Madueke punished a glaring error from City debutant Abdukodir Khusanov early on as Chelsea looked to move five points clear of a rival for UEFA Champions League qualification.

However, City began to exert control towards the end of an action-packed first half, and Josko Gvardiol’s sixth league goal of the season dragged them level.

In the second half, Haaland latched on to Ederson’s long ball and lobbed an out-of-position Robert Sanchez to put City ahead, then Foden raced clear to make the points safe in the 88th minute.

The victory takes City up…
