Events

Match Events

  • 5' The travelling Chelsea FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 15' Manchester City FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 20' The energy levels are beginning to show. Thomas Tuchel might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 25' The 27-year-old Mason Mount has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 30' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 34' Manchester City FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 34.
  • 35' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Ilkay Gundogan on 35 minutes.
  • 39' The Chelsea FC manager makes a substitution. Thiago Silva departs to be replaced by Andreas Christensen.
  • 42' Kai Havertz has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 42 minutes.
  • 43' GOAL! Kai Havertz fires home to make it 0-2!
  • 48' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Thomas Tuchel will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 53' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Raheem Sterling made 436 appearances and scored 113 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 57' A moment of madness from Antonio Rudiger on 57 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Chelsea FC will be frustrated.
  • 60' Manchester City FC make a change. Kevin De Bruyne trudges off to be replaced by Gabriel Jesus on 60 minutes.
  • 64' Another change for Manchester City FC made on 64 minute. Bernardo Silva leaves to be changed by Fernandinho.
  • 66' Christian Pulisic is replacing Timo Werner for the Chelsea FC side.
  • 71' 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.
  • 76' Riyad Mahrez needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 77' The whistle greets Raheem Sterling as he departs to be replaced by Sergio Aguero.
  • 80' Mason Mount makes way for Mateo Kovacic at the 80 minute mark. A tactical switch from Chelsea FC.
  • 85' 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 Edouard Mendy suffering a number of foals already.
  • 88' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Gabriel Jesus.
  • With this win, Chelsea FC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
