Gallery: City beaten in London

Manchester City fell to a 2-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge, with Willian netting a late winner for Chelsea from the penalty spot.

Pep Guardiola‘s men started the match brightly but it was the hosts who opened the scoring, with Christian Pulisic pouncing on a defensive error before stroking the ball beyond Ederson.

Kevin de Bruyne equalised early in the second period, firing into the top corner spectacularly from a free-kick after Riyad Mahrez was fouled.

Just seconds later, Raheem Sterling struck the post, before Fernandinho was sent off for a handball, with Willian netting the resulting penalty, crowning Liverpool as 2019/20 Premier League champions.
