Comments:

League position: 1st Chelsea now had 72 points from 30 games so far in this Premier League season; 31 more than at the same stage in the previous season. Eden Hazard became the first Chelsea player to score in home and away games against Manchester City in the Premier League since Salomon Kalou in 2007-08. The Blues had now kept two clean sheets in their last 12 Premier League games. Chelsea manager Antonio Conte said: "We must be pleased because we beat a strong team; the best team in the league. I think they have a great coach; the best in the world. To win this type of game at this time of the season is great."

Comments:

League position: 4th Sergio Agüero had now scored nine goals in his last nine appearances for Manchester City in all competitions. City boss Pep Guardiola had now lost six league games in a season for the first time in his managerial career. Captain Vincent Kompany completed a full Premier League game for the first time since the visit to Newcastle United on 19 April 2016. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said: "It's an honour to have the amazing players I have. We come here to Stamford Bridge and play the way we have, with huge personality. I'm a lucky guy to manage these guys."
