Rodri managed to score a last-minute equalizer, but City’s loss to Liverpool and Arsenal resulted in them falling behind in the standings.

Manchester City’s Spanish midfielder, Rodri, was the hero of the night as he celebrated scoring his team’s first goal during the English Premier League clash against Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester. However, despite Rodri’s late strike, Manchester City’s winning streak in the Premier League came to an end as they were held to a draw by a resilient Chelsea side.

The champions struggled to break down Chelsea’s solid defense and were constantly thwarted in their attempts to find the back of the net. Both teams had their fair share of clear chances, with Erling Haaland, usually clinical in front of goal, surprisingly missing two opportunities from close range.

On the other hand, Chelsea patiently waited for their chances on the break and their strategy paid off just before half-time. Nicolas Jackson provided a perfect pass to Raheem Sterling, who calmly slotted the ball into the far corner, giving Chelsea the lead.

Despite the disappointment of dropping points, Manchester City can take solace in the fact that they salvaged a draw thanks to Rodri’s deflected goal. The result leaves them with a game in hand, which they will play against Brentford at home on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Chelsea can look forward to the EFL Cup Final on Sunday, where they will face Liverpool. This draw against Manchester City will surely boost their confidence as they aim to secure silverware in the upcoming final.

Overall, it was a hard-fought match between two top teams in the Premier League. Manchester City’s winning streak may have come to an end, but their resilience and determination to salvage a point will undoubtedly serve them well in their pursuit of retaining the title.
