Goals from Josko Gvardiol, Erling Haaland and Phil Foden earned us the three points against Enzo Maresca’s side after Noni Madueke had scored early on for the visitors.
Spirits were high at the Etihad, with a first glimpse of new signings Abdukodir Khusanov and Omar Marmoush freshening up the starting XI - while Vitor Reis was on the bench.
City 3-1 Chelsea | Match report
The result means it’s six games unbeaten in the Premier League, winning four of those in a run that stretches back to Boxing Day.
It also lifts us back into the top four of the top-flight, with 41 points from 23 matches.
However, the hard work doesn’t stop there.
The Champions League returns to the Etihad on Wednesday with City needing a victory over Club Brugge to get a spot in next month’s play-off round.
With a trip to Arsenal also to come next weekend, there’s plenty to look forward to.
As always with training the day after a game, those not heavily involved yesterday had an intense session while it was all about recovery for those who inspired that victory.
