Welcome to the Evening Standard's Premier League match coverage of Manchester City vs Chelsea LIVE at Etihad Stadium.
This felt like a crucial win in Manchester City’s season. Bouncing back from defeat to Liverpool - and going behind here against Chelsea - will be a major statement of intent.
Okay, so they are no closer to Jurgen Klopp’s Premier League leaders, but it will be evidence of their refusal to give up on their title without a fight.
N’Golo Kante put Chelsea ahead before goals from Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez saw the hosts move up to third and ensured Liverpool didn’t open up a 12-point gap on the Premier League champions.
Chelsea, meanwhile, slip to fourth spot.
