Events

Match Events

0' And we are off! Chelsea FC vs Manchester City FC — let the football do the talking.
5' It looks like no one’s ball. Manchester City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
12' Estevao has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 12.
17' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
22' Chelsea FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Manchester City FC backline.
27' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
32' Joao Pedro has been relatively quiet despite scoring 63 goals in his last 389 appearances.
37' A quiet spell here at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
38' Manchester City FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 38.
43' Manchester City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 43.
48' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Erling Haaland suffering a number of foals already.
51' GOAL! Nico O'Reilly scores on 51. Assisted by Rayan Cherki
54' A meaty challenge results in booking for Cucurella on 54.
57' Against the run of play, Marc Guehi has scored! This game has turned on its head.
62' Chelsea FC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Manchester City FC's 4-2-3-1 shape.
64' A change in the Manchester City FC ranks — Nico O'Reilly exits the field as Rayan Ait Nouri enters on 64.
67' Alejandro Garnacho gets the nod from Chelsea FC. He replaces Estevao and will look to change the dynamic.
68' Magnificent from Jeremy Doku! That is 34 goals in 390 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
73' Both keepers have barely been tested. Chelsea FC and Manchester City FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
76' A tactical swap from Manchester City FC — Savio on, Jeremy Doku off on 76 minutes.
81' The Manchester City FC manager makes a substitution. Bernardo Silva departs to be replaced by Mateo Kovacic.
82' Another change for Chelsea FC made on 82 minute. Moises Caicedo leaves to be changed by Dario Essugo.
87' Gianluigi Donnarumma has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
88' The supporters are chanting for Josh Acheampong. He replaces Malo Gusto on 88 minute.
90' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Dario Essugo on 90 minutes.
0-3 the final result. Chelsea FC will be bitterly disappointed.
