On this day in 2021 City ushered in the New Year in thrilling style as we stormed to a superb 3-1 win at Chelsea.
Pep Guardiola‘s side were without a number of first-team players following an outbreak of COVID-19 at the club.
But that didn’t prevent us from stunning Chelsea with three magnificent goals in 16 first-half minutes.
Ilkay Gundogan‘s crisp low finish broke the deadlock and Phil Foden doubled City’s lead three minutes later, tucking a superb first-time strike beyond Edouard Mendy after fine work from Kevin de Bruyne.
De Bruyne deservedly got his name on the scoresheet with a close-range finish after Raheem Sterling’s curling strike had rebounded off the woodwork.
Though Callum Hudson-Odoi struck in second-half stoppage time for Chelsea, it was little more than consolation.
