Chelsea vs Manchester City Live: Latest scores and goal updates from today’s Premier League match

Chelsea fans felt they were entitled to claim a penalty but the reality was that Fernandes’ touch was poor as he received the ball on the edge of the box under a challenge from Savinho.

Rico Lewis slides in to intercept – He’s been good so far today, just like he was in the Community Shield. You’d think City would need his flexibility at times this season, especially as he also looks comfortable in a more attacking position. Have they found a replacement for Kyle Walker, or does his future lie in another position?

The game had quietened down now, with Chelsea content for the time being to shoot the ball into their own half as City refused to press them.

Chelsea were organising better attacks now but the tempo was still fairly tight, with Nkunku moving the ball through all the blue shirts before Palmer played it straight to Ederson.

Chelsea now had some sustained possession but the attack was very disorganised and lacked cohesion. Caicedo tried to pass the ball through to Jackson but it went straight to Akanji.

Moments later, Nkunku thought he had won the ball and had a good break, but he was penalised for pulling back Akanji.

Chelsea were now in trouble as the midfield was unable to control the game. Silva passed the ball to De Bruyne who had enough space to shoot but the ball went wide of the far corner.

A goal! No doubt about it, but was it offside?

Doku got the ball on the left wing and he passed it into the penalty area. Silva couldn’t control the ball, but he was able to stretch out a leg and pass it to Haaland. The Norwegian still had a lot to do, but he took a light touch in front of the goal, got rid of the challenge of Cucurella, and flicked the ball past Sanchez to make the score 1-0!

There were no clear chances for either team yet, but both teams were playing very well in the match, but Manchester City started to control most of the ball.

Cucurella was able to draw a foul from Doku as the Belgian attempted a one-two into the box. At the other end, Dias also did well to deny Jackson on the edge of the City box before drawing a foul.

Lavia brought down De Bruyne near midfield, whose early cross found the gloves of Sanchez as City gained possession.

Doku and Savinho have swapped wingers.

Doku was again ineffective, twice in just a few minutes. He made space on the right and tried to get past Cucurella, but ultimately lost to the Spaniard. Moments later, Savinho also managed to pass the ball through, but the Belgian’s shot went wide.

Chelsea made progress at the other end but it was not going well until Palmer was intercepted by Kovacic.

Chelsea counterattacked quickly. Gusto made an early cross, and Gvardiol saved the ball in time and saved it from going out of the baseline. Palmer made a cross, and Fofana volleyed the ball, but it went out of the baseline.
