Chelsea 4-2 Manchester City Highlights

Chelsea 4-2 Manchester City Highlights

Chelsea dominated the majority of the first half against City with the visitors offering no real goal threat whatsoever, but it took the Pensioners until the 41st minute to break the deadlock when Joe Cole played in Frank Lampard who scored from 10-yards. Incredibly Chelsea then imploded with a horror goal on the stroke of halftime, Obi Mikel fluffed a header from a long hoof which allowed Carlos Tevez to turn Terry before twisting Carvalho inside-out and slipping a tame trickling shot agonisingly past Hilario’s hand.

Five minutes after the restart City’s fan when berserk when Craig Bellamy picked up the ball on the halfway-line, took on a frightened looking Obi Mikel with ease before placing another soft strike past Hilario. The mistakes kept coming for Chelsea 15 minutes from time when sub Belletti lost the ball to Barry who raced into the box, fell, Belletti saw red, and Carlos Tevez made no mistake to claim a magical third for City. Ancelotti then had to watch Michael Ballack lose his head and take down Tevez from behind to leave Chelsea with nine men. City cashed in on Chelsea’s humiliation by adding a fourth as Tevez freed Wright-Phillips to race into the box and he fed Bellamy for his second. Lampard scored a consolation penalty as the match moved into injury time.

Carlos Tevez and Emmanuel Adebayor struck either side of the interval to give Manchester City victory in their local derby.

Tevez drove home his 19th goal of the season from the penalty spot after star man Adam Johnson had been fouled, then Adebayor exposed some woeful Bolton defending to seal the win with an excellent finish.

The result means City only trail fourth-placed Liverpool on goal difference, while Bolton continue to dangle precariously over the drop zone.
