Manchester City delivered a dominant second-half performance to dismantle Chelsea 3–0 at Stamford Bridge, reigniting their Premier League title challenge.
After a goalless and scrappy first half, Pep Guardiola’s side exploded into life immediately after the break, scoring three goals in quick succession to take full control of the match. Nico O’Reilly opened the scoring with a close-range header before Marc Guehi doubled the lead with a powerful finish from inside the box.
Jeremy Doku sealed the emphatic win after capitalising on a defensive error, ensuring City closed the gap on league leaders Arsenal in the title race.
Chelsea, under new manager Liam Rosenior, struggled to find rhythm and have now suffered a dip in form after a promising start to his tenure, raising further questions about their consistency and Champions League ambitions.
The result strengthens City’s momentum ahead of a crucial upcoming clash with Arsenal that could have major implications for the title race.
