The competition for the top of the English Premier League for the 2025-2026 season intensified, after a landslide victory achieved by Manchester City at the expense of its host Chelsea, with three unanswered goals, in the 32nd round matches, which were held at Stamford Bridge.
City was able to settle the result of the match in the second half, after the first half ended in a scoreless draw, with Nico O’Reilly, Mark Guhi and Jeremy Doku scoring in the 51st, 57th and 68th minutes, respectively.
With this victory, Manchester City raised its score to 64 points to occupy second place in the standings, and reduced the gap with leaders Arsenal to only 6 points, which added more excitement to the title race, especially since City still had a match in hand.
