The wait for the Premier League title goes on for Manchester City after they fell to a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea.

Things looked to be going well for the Blues towards the end of the first-half as Raheem Sterling put his side ahead, but Sergio Aguero fluffed his lines from the penalty spot before the break to put them two goals up.

The miss would prove to be costly as a renewed Chelsea came out fighting in the second-half and City struggled to cope with their threat down the flanks.

Both goals came down the right-wing as Cesar Azpilicueta teed up Hakim Ziyech to fire in from the edge of the box.

Then, deep into added time, Timo Werner made his way into the box and played the ball to Marcos Alonso, who lifted the ball over Ederson.

It's a defeat that will sting for City and it doesn't bode well for the Champions League final, even if it was a much changed side.
