Chelsea and Manchester City served up an eight-goal thriller at the Stamford Bridge on Sunday night.
The Blues side came from behind thrice in the breathless game.
Erling Haaland struck the opening goal, from the spot, after Marc Cucurella was controversially found to have fouled the Norwegian following a lengthy VAR check.
Thiago Silva and Raheem Sterling later put Chelsea ahead before Manuel Akanji’s header brought City level again shortly before half-time.
Haaland slid home his second and City’s third two minutes after the break.
Chelsea rallied once again with Nicolas Jackson tucking home a lose ball. READ ALSO:
