Manchester City boosted their Premier League title hopes with a dominant 3-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Pep Guardiola’s side arrived in London looking to capitalize on Arsenal’s 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth a day earlier, a result that had left Mikel Arteta’s men nine points clear at the top, albeit having played more games.
After a goalless first half, City turned on the style after the restart. Nico O’Reilly broke the deadlock with a well-placed header, before Marc Guehi doubled the advantage with a clinical finish less than 10 minutes later.
Jeremy Doku then sealed the emphatic win, capitalizing on a defensive lapse to add a third goal.
The victory reduces Arsenal’s lead to six points, with City still holding two games in hand. Both sides are now set for a potentially decisive clash at the Etihad Stadium next Sunday.
