'Perfect performance!': Man City fans react after beating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge

Manchester City inflicted Chelsea’s first defeat of the season as they beat Thomas Tuchel’s side 1-0 at Stamford Bridge in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off.

Pep Guardiola’s side bounced back from last weekend’s shock 0-0 draw with Southampton in style, after Gabriel Jesus's second-half strike was enough to seal all three points in west London.
