90.+5.
Conclusion:
Chelsea FC fought off a lucky 1-1 draw at Manchester City, which means they can no longer take the lead in the catch-up game on Tuesday evening. After the first 45 minutes, the Blues even had a 1-0 lead – and that was deserved at the time. Chelsea and Man City missed a few good chances before Sterling took the lead with a curling shot after Jackson’s assist (42′). The second half was also extremely fast-paced and entertaining – but now only in one direction. Chelsea rarely got relief, although they still had a great double chance (56th) – but the Skyblues now had significantly more and better opportunities. In the 83rd minute, a blocked shot from Walker fell at the feet of Rodri, his deflected and powerful finish flew high into the net – 1-1. City then tried everything, but could no longer get the ball into the opponent’s goal. The catch-up game against Brentford FC is on Tuesday, Chelsea will play the League Cup final against Liverpool next weekend.
