Chelsea and Manchester City offered an incredible match to the Premier League followers on Sunday, with a final result of 4-4. Pep Guardiola’s team will spend the international break at the top of the table with a one point lead.
Between a Manchester City leader for a week at the expense of Tottenham and a Chelsea who had just beaten Spurs with a resounding score (1-4), the clash promised to be thrilling. But Stamford Bridge did not expect such a spectacle. A match with an incredible scenario saw the Blues snatch a 4-4 draw in added time of the game!
The Cityzens first led 1-0 on a penalty from Erling Haaland (25th), then Chelsea reversed the situation with goals from Thiago Silva (29th) and Raheem Sterling (37th), before Manuel Akanji’s equalizer (45th+1). It was therefore 2-2 at half-time before a second period also prolific in goals: Haaland scored his 13th goal in the PL (47th) and Nicolas Jackson reset the counters to zero (67th).
ERLING HAALAND, HIM AGAIN! 🤯
We knew he was capable of scoring in any way possible, but we had not yet seen him score a goal with his butt 😅#CHEMCI | #PremierLeague pic.twitter.com/rFLumG4AHJ

The end of the meeting was even crazier. Rodri thought he had given victory to the Mancuniens five minutes from the end of a shot deflected by Thiago Silva (86th), but the Londoners obtained a penalty (for a foul by Ruben Dias on Armando Broja) and it was ultimately Cole Palmer, the young talent trained at Man City, who took charge of the penalty for 4-4 in the 95th minute.
IT IS. WHAT. THIS. MATCH. 🤯🤯🤯🤯
