I think City were leggy from 45 minutes of relentless pressing and slipped up.
Great skill from Hazard to make a yard and a thumping finish from Kanté, who should have been picked up making his run.
Fernandinho is a great player but he’s 33 and he can’t run for 90 mins twice a week.

Would Sarri actually have allowed Chelsea's first goal though, or was Luiz disobeying his orders?
This is precisely why Luiz has been preferred this season. He has an excellent long pass on him and has been using it to good effect.

The number of times they unsuccessfully played out the back before Luiz finally gambled with a long ball, which paid off - was that all part of a tactical masterplan, or was that player frustration with tactics and a style of play that was being negated by Man City being set up to stop it?
