Man City 1-3 Chelsea: Conte's men defeats Manchester City At Etihad Stadium


Antonio Conte's side have gone four points clear at the top of the Premier League after an impressive comeback win at the Etihad Stadium despite their defender's blunder.

Diego Costa, Willian and Eden Hazard struck for Chelsea to fire them to a 3-1 Premier League win at Manchester City on Saturday, cancelling out Gary Cahill's spectacular own goal in the first half.

The 30-year-old had unwittingly opened the scoring for Pep Guardiola's men right on the stroke of half-time, acrobatically vollying Jesus Navas's cross into his own net.

Undettered, Chelsea went searching for a result after the break and Costa pulled them level after a brilliant pass from Cesc Fabregas, with the striker doing well to shrug off Nicolas Otamendi and net.

The Blues then struck twice on the counter-attack as Costa turned provider for Willian who finished instinctively with a low shot, before Hazard sealed three points that could prove in the title race late on.
