Manchester City slumped to a 1-0 defeat at home to Chelsea in what was their first home defeat of the 2013/2014 premier league season. Prior to Monday’s game, Man City had won 19 of their last 20 matches in all competitions and had scored in 61 successive top-flight fixtures at home, going back to a 0-0 stalemate with Birmingham City in November 2010.
Branislav Ivanovic’s sweet strike gave the Blues a deserved lead and, while they had to resist a late City surge, Jose Mourinho’s side were well worth the victory after a fine away performance. In reality, the margin of victory could have been more as the blues struck the woodwork thrice.
The result means Arsenal remain on top of the log with 14 matches left, two points clear of City, who are ahead of Chelsea on goal difference.
