James McAtee‘s 14th PL2 goal of the season was enough to earn City all three points away to Chelsea and propel us to the top of the table in the process.
The midfielder jinked his way into space on the hour before firing home the only goal of the game from a tight angle.
After a cagey opening 45, McAtee’s strike brought the game to life with both City stopper Cieran Slicker and his Chelsea counterpart Teddy Sharman-Lowe called in to action late on.
Brian Barry-Murphy‘s men have now won each of our last four matches as we continue our defence of a maiden PL2 title.
Significantly, victory at the Cherry Red Records Stadium saw City leapfrog West Ham at the summit after they were beaten by Leicester Under-23s earlier on in the afternoon.
