First half no bring goal, but e no mean say nothing dey happen. Chelsea and City both dey probe, dey test, dey feel each other out. Cole Palmer, wey always love score against him old club, run with the ball past Rodri early on before shooting with him left foot — but the effort only find the side netting. Cucurella put the ball inside the net for the 15th minute but VAR come show say e don dey offside. Pedro Neto also draw good save from the legendary Gianluigi Donnarumma wey City bring from PSG.

Second half na where City show Chelsea pepper. Na so Pep team enter that field with different mentality — like say manager don give different speech for dressing room at half time.

The Three Goals Wey Settle Am

51st Minute — Nico O’Reilly: Na this young Irish boy wey don dey score goals anyhow this season. O’Reilly continue him scoring streak as e find the breakthrough to put City one-nil up. Chelsea dey stunned.

57th Minute — Marc Guehi: This one na the goal wey truly show say City don take over. Doku get the ball, work am to Rayan Cherki, and this French boy wey City buy this season rush infield before sliding a pass through to Guehi. The defender — who City sign from Crystal Palace this summer — slip the ball into the far corner for him very first league goal for the club. Wahala don come!

68th Minute — Jérémy Doku: Na Chelsea bring this one on themselves. Moises Caicedo — wey cost Chelsea more than £100 million — dawdle with the ball after collecting from Sanchez, then run straight into Doku who steal the ball clean and clip him finish inside the near post. Stadium go quiet. Na horror show.

Chelsea try to fight back small. Cucurella hit one low drive wey flash wide. Then him header wey Donnarumma keep well. But everything late, and the result don already concrete.

What This Result Mean for Title Race

Before this weekend, Arsenal get 70 points from 31 games. Man City get 61 points from 29 games. After City demolish Chelsea, the gap don cut to just six points — and City still get one game in hand! If City win that game in hand, the gap go drop to three points. Then on April 19, the two teams go clash directly at the Etihad Stadium. Na final be that one!

City fans dey sing “Are you watching Arsenal?” from the Shed End throughout the match. The confidence dey there. The form dey there. And the schedule favour dem — dem get full week rest before the Arsenal game while Gunners must first play Sporting Lisbon for Champions League quarter-final second leg.

Wayne Rooney don already say City go carry psychological edge into that April 19 encounter. And after today, e hard to argue with that assessment.

Bad Day for Chelsea

This result leave Chelsea still in sixth position, and their hope of reaching Champions League next season dey look shaky shaky. Liam Rosenior side don now win only one game in their last seven league matches. And to make am worse, dem face Manchester United next — another team wey go want to scatter dem.

Chelsea spend plenty money this season, but big players like Caicedo and others dey disappoint when dem needed most. The criticism go be plenty from London newspapers tomorrow morning.

Man of the Match

Jérémy Doku get our nod — the Belgian winger cause problems throughout, got an assist for Guehi goal, and then score the killer third. But honorable mention to Rayan Cherki wey show why City buy am.
