- Manchester City lose for the first time in the Premier League this season. It is a huge result for Chelsea, and their manager Andre Villas-Boas. Balotelli had given City the lead in the second minute before Meireles levelled following fine work from Sturridge. Then Clichy received a second yellow in the second period to make it an uphill task for the visitors, and Chelsea duly struck, with Lampard coming off the bench to fire in a penalty. |
