The Belgium talisman – Kevin De Bruyne’s dazzling solo goal extended their 12th Premier League win today as they are now 13-points in the gap between second-placed Chelsea in the EPL table.
Manchester City boss – Pep Guardiola is without a recognized striker this season following the departure of Argentine frontman – Sergio Kun Aguero yet he has maintained the highest level of form with eighteen wins, two draws, and two losses in twenty-two outings.
And in today’s game, they gave the current Champions of Europe no room as they outplayed them by 56 against 44 in ball possession, 11 shots against 4, 6 shots on-target against 1, and other relevant statistics. As for Chelsea boss – Thomas Tuchel, he has now lost twice in a row against Pep Guardiola and also has recorded only two clean sheets in 12 outings.
Per today’s result, Manchester City are now far the most favorite to win this season’s EPL title in a consecutive attempt. However, with much said, the only player who impressed for the Blues today was Frenchman – Malang Sarr.
So the question asked is, can Chelsea ever match Manchester City after back-to-back defeats?.
