Manchester City got a valuable 0-1 win on their visit to Chelsea, this Thursday at the close of matchday 19 of the Premier League and in the first match of Josep Guardiola’s team in 2023.
The victory has added importance due to the goalless draw registered on Tuesday between the leader Arsenal and Newcastle (3rd). City thus manages to cut their disadvantage to five points with respect to the first in the table and extends the advantage over the third to four units.
The Algerian Riyad Mahrez, in minute 63, was the author of the only goal at Stamford Bridge at night, enough to sink a Chelsea that is barely tenth in the table, far behind in the fight for the title and ten units from the Champions League area.
In the previous day, Manchester City had stumbled at home with a draw against Everton, so now he manages to recover from that disappointment and gain new momentum in an attempt to revalidate his Premier League crown.
Chelsea won’t have to wait long to attempt a revenge against Manchester City, as both teams meet again on Sunday, this time at the Mancunians’ ground and in the 32nd final of the FA Cup.
