Erling Haaland scored on his 100th City appearance as the Premier League champions started our title defence with a victory at Stamford Bridge.
Haaland opened the scoring on 18 minutes with a clever finish over Robert Sanchez.
It represented his 64th goal in 66 Premier League games, a quite incredible tally from the giant Norwegian.
CHELSEA V CITY | MANAGER VERDICT
Former Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic ensured the three points late on with a cracking driven finish from just outside the penalty area.
The triumph represented our 13th opening day in 14 attempts, the only loss coming against Tottenham in 2021/22.
