Epic Eight-Goal Thriller Keeps Premier League Title Race Alive
Manchester City's Double Hopes Remain Intact
In a breathtaking encounter at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea and Manchester City played out an unforgettable 4-4 draw in a Premier League classic. Erling Haaland, Manuel Akanji, and Rodri all found the net for the visitors, while Raheem Sterling, Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech, and Bernardo Silva replied for the Blues.
Chelsea took the lead twice in the first half, with Sterling and Pulisic capitalizing on City's defensive lapses. However, Haaland's equalizer on the stroke of halftime kept Guardiola's side in the hunt.
City turned up the pressure after the break, and Akanji's close-range finish put them ahead for the first time. Rodri then extended the lead with a stunning strike from outside the box, but Chelsea refused to give up.
Ziyech pulled one back for the hosts before Silva rescued a point for Manchester City in dramatic fashion. The Portuguese midfielder curled a magnificent shot into the top corner with just minutes remaining, securing a vital point for the reigning champions.
The result keeps Manchester City in the title race, but Arsenal now hold a five-point advantage after their win over Brighton. Chelsea remain in sixth place, seven points off the Champions League places.
