The Premier League encounter between Chelsea and Manchester City produced two penalties and eight goals but failed to produce a winner.
Defending treble champions, Manchester City were held to a thrilling eight goal classic at Stamford Bridge despite taking the lead in the 86th minute. Chelsea also set a new personal club record as the first team to score Manchester City four goals in Premier League match since 2018.
Erling Haaland briefly handed Manchester City the lead at Stamford Bridge with a well executed penalty before a quick fire double from Thiago Silva and Raheem Sterling made the scoreline 2-1 in Chelsea's favour only for Manuel Alkanji to draw Pep's men level heading into the halftime break.
Norway international, Erling Haaland, scored again after the restart but Nicolas Jackson equalised for Chelsea in the 79th minute and then Rodri's loose shot deflected off Thiago Silva's legs and ended up at the back of the net.
The Citizens thought they had won the game with eight minutes of stoppage time left to play but Mauricio Pochettino's men had the last laugh as Cole Palmer scored a late minute penalty to earn Chelsea a well deserved point against Man City.
Now, with all that said and no further delays, let's quickly take a look at the main central message of this article.
