Abystacy Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Manchester City 0-1 Chelsea: Ivanovic piledriver stuns hosts The Serb fired home past Joe Hart to score the only goal of the game, with the visitors hitting the woodwork three times as they secured a massive three points in the title race. Chelsea kept themselves firmly in the Premier League title race as Branislav Ivanovic's first-half thunderbolt secured a 1-0 victory over Manchester City. The Serb smashed home past Joe Hart and into the corner of the net to give Jose Mourinho's side a priceless win at the Etihad Stadium and move them level on points with second-placed City in the table. Prior to Monday's game, City had won 19 of their last 20 matches in all competitions and had scored in 61 successive top-flight fixtures at home, going back to a 0-0 stalemate with Birmingham City in November 2010 However, it was Chelsea who looked most likely to score again, as they struck the woodwork three times going in search of a second, while City struggled to find a way through their well-organised defence hard to avoid the categorisation of this one as a 'Mourinho masterclass' because that is exactly what it was. Chelsea faced Manchester City eye-to-eye and came out on top. This was not 19th century, defensive football hoping for the best, this was precise counter-attacking and diligent work in defence. It was well-deserved and it blows the title race wide open. City were below par and could not, until late, make things difficult for Petr Cech. But they were made to be second-best by an excellent Chelsea who threatened time and again with the stupendous Hazard and the industrious Ramires, who shone brightly. But that takes nothing away from the rest of the Chelsea boys. This was a statement win from Mourinho's side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
