Manchester City will be sweating on the fitness of a young player who continues to step up Manchester City picked up a massive three points yesterday as they beat Chelsea 3-0 in a crucial Premier League fixture at Stamford Bridge. Second-half goals from Nico O’Reilly, Marc Guehi, and Jeremy Doku sealed the win for Pep Guardiola’s side. Manchester City’s win sees them pile the pressure onto Arsenal in this season’s title race.
City now sit six points behind Arsenal, with a game in hand and next Sunday’s top-of-the-table Premier League clash against Mikel Arteta’s side looming large. Yesterday’s match saw Nico O’Reilly come up big again for City as he opened the scoring at Stamford Bridge. O’Reilly scored his third goal in three games before going off with an apparent hamstring injury.
Manchester City will be sweating on the fitness of a player who continues to step up in big moments ahead of next week’s match. Nico O’Reilly again came up big in a huge moment for his team. Manchester City went up a gear in the second half of yesterday’s Premier League match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
The game was delicately poised at nil-all at halftime, and the possibility that nerves could hit Pep Guardiola’s side was there. However three goals in seventeen minutes from City sealed their huge win. Once again, it was Nico O’Reilly who set City on their way.
The England international headed home a sublime Rayan Cherki cross in the 51st minute yesterday to give Manchester City the lead. Once again, like he was against Arsenal when he scored a brace in the Carabao Cup final, O’Reilly was in an advanced attacking position from left-back to beat Robert Sanchez in the Chelsea goal to give Manchester City the lead. From that moment onward, there was only one winner at Stamford Bridge.
