End of 2nd Half
FT
FULL-TIME! Chelsea take the points in a dramatic afternoon at the Etihad Stadium. Gary Cahill's own goal gave City a deserved first-half lead but the visitors bounced back after the restart with Costa, Willian and Eden Hazard all on the score-sheet.
90'+6
ANOTHER RED CARD! And now Fernandinho is sent off after he pushes Fabregas over the advertising hoardings.

Meanwhile, City finally take their delayed corner... but it's just wide from Iheanacho who meets the ball at the near post.
83'
Costa is going to hobble off here, being replaced by Nathaniel Chalobah. It's probably just a pre-caution.

Anthony Taylor certainly won't be on Pep Guardiola's Christmas card list as the referee waves away another penalty appeal as Navas goes down under the challenge of Alonso. Probably a fair decision.

GOAL - Chelsea have the lead! Willian scores from a fantastic counter-attack started by Hazard who fed Costa, he held the ball up superbly and found the substitute who completed the move as he coolly slides a shot past Bravo.
