Chelsea vs. Manchester City score: Eight-goal thriller sees Cole Palmer penalty kick rescue draw for Blues

With lead changes back and forth, Manchester City and Chelsea’s meeting at Stamford Bridge on Sunday ended all square at 4-4. It sees City go one point clear atop the league but slowly, Chelsea are finding their footing after picking up four points in the week over top-four sides. Former City players Raheem Sterling and Cole Palmer found the back of the net for the Blues to cancel out Erling Haaland’s brace but overall it was a clash of heavyweights that took each chance that they had.

From Thiago Silva and Manuel Akanji punishing poor corner kick defense to Rodri’s fortuitous strike needing a deflection to fool Robert Sanchez, the first kick to the final whistle, this was a match that shows what top teams in the Premier League bring to the table. With even Nicolas Jackson finding the back of the net for the Blues, things are looking up with the return of Christopher Nkunku on the horizon for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
