Chelsea lead at the Etihad!
The Blues swept up the pitch and scored with a brilliant counter Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer linking on the halfway line and racing forward to play in Raheem Sterling.
Sterling took a bad first touch, but recovered to turn Kyle Walker and create space for a shot on his right foot, which he curled into the far side.
He missed a great chance against his old team earlier in the half, so it was great to see him redeem himself.
