Manchester City and Pep Guardiola smell blood as the Premier League giants continue to hunt down table-topping Arsenal.
Today's key meeting at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea presented an opportunity for Liam Rosenior's men to do the Gunners a favour after their shock reversal against Bournemouth yesterday, but it's City who have pounced after the break as they look to close the gap near the top.
Nico O'Reilly continued his fine run of form in 2025/26 when he found the back of the net to break the deadlock in the 51st minute, taking his total goal tally to nine across all competitions, which has included key hits that have directly impacted Arsenal's trophy ambitions.
Six minutes later, it would be Marc Guéhi's turn to get in on the goalscoring act, against his old club no less, when he dispatched a striker's finish from inside the area to double City's advantage in the capital.
As things stand, City, should their lead hold, will cut the gap to Arsenal to just six points with a match in hand ahead of their massive clash next weekend at the Etihad.
