Chelsea 0-1 Man City: Cesar Azpilicueta's bizarre challenge on Jack Grealish goes viral | OneFootball

Manchester City produced a brilliant performance to defeat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon.

The first half was a drab affair with Chelsea more intent in defending rather than going forward.

Pep Guardiola's side imposed their dominance after the break and they would go on to win 1-0.

Gabriel Jesus netted the only goal of the game in the 53rd minute to give his side all three points.

The Spaniard gave a foul away after bundling Grealish over.

Azpilicueta then stood over Grealish and was lifted up as the Man City man tried to get back to his feet.

It really was a very strange moment and you can watch it below:

“Until the goal, we were very, very strong in the last 20m of the field, but only there, unfortunately, and there are another 80m left where we were not good enough today to escape pressure, to have ball possession - and not only ball possession to breathe, but ball possession to switch play, to hurt them and to grow in confidence.

"We were not on our very best level, and you need your very best level to push a game like this to your side.”
