Chelsea's Unbeaten Run Ends in Thrilling Draw Against Man City
Chelsea's Perfect Start Shattered by Jesus' Strike at Stamford Bridge
An enthralling encounter at Stamford Bridge saw Chelsea's impressive unbeaten start to the season come to an end as Manchester City snatched a hard-fought 4-4 draw.
Gabriel Jesus was the hero for the visitors, scoring a late equalizer to cancel out Kai Havertz's second-half penalty. The result leaves Chelsea without a win in their last two matches, while City remain unbeaten and provisionally move top of the Premier League table.
The game got off to a frenetic start, with both teams creating chances from the outset. City took the lead in the 21st minute when Jesus latched onto a through ball from Kevin De Bruyne and fired home. However, Chelsea hit back just four minutes later, as Havertz pounced on a rebound to equalize.
The second half was just as enthralling, with both teams trading blows. Chelsea took the lead again in the 50th minute through Jorginho, but City quickly responded through Riyad Mahrez. Chelsea then restored their advantage twice more, through Hakim Ziyech and Reece James, but Jesus' late goal ensured City would leave Stamford Bridge with a point.
The result was a fair reflection of the match, with both teams showing their attacking prowess throughout. Chelsea will be disappointed to have lost their unbeaten record, but they will take heart from their performance against one of the strongest teams in the league.
