EPL: Chelsea beat Man City 2-1

Marcos Alonso fired in an injury time winner for Chelsea after Sergio Aguero fluffed a penalty as Chelsea delayed Manchester City’s Premier League title party with a dramatic 2-1 victory at the Etihad.

After Raheem Sterling gave the hosts the lead, Aguero was made to look very silly by Edouard Mendy after his Panenka fell easily into the hands of the Blues goalkeeper shortly before half-time.

Ziyech then grabbed a deserved equaliser for Thomas Tuchel’s men, who will meet Pep Guardiola’s side in the Champions League final on May 29.

Alonso then fired in a winner with seconds left to play after some good play down the left from Timo Werner.

The defeat means Man City were not officially crowned champions on Saturday, but a draw or defeat for second-placed Manchester United against Aston Villa on Sunday will cement their name as champions.
