Riyad Mahrez Scores As Manchester City Beat Chelsea 1-0

Riyad Mahrez scores as Manchester City beat Chelsea 1-0 to close the gap on premier league leaders, Arsenal to just five points.
Pep Guardiola’s men were well below par in the first half but were transformed after the break, with substitutes Jack Grealish and Riyad Mahrez combining for the only goal, scored by the Algerian in the 63rd minute.
Graham Potter’s Chelsea came into the game languishing in 10th place in the table and were expected to face a searching examination from second-placed City but they had the better of the first half.
Chelsea, however, was up against it from the opening minutes, with forward Raheem Sterling forced off after suffering an apparent hamstring injury, replaced by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Potter was also without a string of senior players including Mason Mount, Reece James, Ben Chilwell, and N’Golo Kante.

The game at Stamford Bridge was scrappy in the initial stages, with the visitors dominating possession but creating little of note.

Chelsea now have just one win in their past eight league games and remains 10 points off the top four.
