Chelsea stop Manchester City

A thumping strike by Branislav Ivanovic made all the difference as Chelsea beat Manchester City and keep them at the second position of the Barclays Premier League at the Etihad stadium.

But again Chelsea were unlucky not to have added to the lone goal, hitting the woodwork no fewer than three times through Samuel Eto'o, Nemanja Matic and Gary Cahill in the highly contested encounter.

With the win City’s three month unbeaten run has come to a close and leaves them at second position behind Arsenal.
