Man City close gap on leaders Arsenal after easing to victory at Chelsea

Manchester City’s pursuit of the Premier League title gained momentum with a dominant 3-0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge which cut the gap at the top to six points.

Arsenal’s defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday had opened the door for Pep Guardiola’s side to take charge of their own destiny and after a slow first half in west London, they emerged after the break to blow the home side away with three goals in 17 minutes to put real pressure on the league leaders.

Nico O’Reilly continued his scoring streak to break the deadlock in the 50th minute, Marc Guehi slotted in his first league goal for the club then Jeremy Doku pounced on an awful error by Moises Caicedo to complete Chelsea’s humiliation.
