MANCHESTER CITY VS CHELSEA - MATCH REVIEW

in #football5 years ago

It was a bad moment for Chelsea. The final scoreline is way too embarrassing. There are times the 6 - 0 scoreline happens, but it's not common between top teams. Especially against Chelsea. Also, Aguero has scored six goals in two matches. Two hatricks in a row, and it was against two big teams in England; Arsenal and Chelsea. It's right to compare the Argentine with top strikers in the world. Let's just say Etihad has been a slaughter zone lately.

Manchester City had a slight change in their starting lineup. Zinchenko played the left back, while Walker played the right back. Laporte and Stones were both at the center back. The formation was the usual 4-3-3. Gundogan, De Bryune and Fernandinho were at the middle, while Sterling, Bernardo Silva and Aguero were the three forwards.

Chelsea played a 4-3-3 formation too. Marcos Alonso as left back, and Azplicueta as right back. David Luiz and Rudiga were the center backs. At the midfield area, we had Jorginho, Kante and Barkley, while Hazard, Pedro and Higuain played as forwards. The two teams were balanced, and they both had credible players on the bench. If only we knew what the outcome would turn out to be.

The blues started with so much power immediately the whistle was blown. They got the first chance with Higuain trying to put a shot through. Manchester City were there to cover it though. Hazard also had a chance in the first two minutes. City were able to absorb the pressure in the early minutes of the game. They started the brilliancy in the fourth minute. Sterling got the first goal in the match. Chelsea never expected the attack. A direct free kick was quickly taken to disturb their defense line. City got another clear chance four minutes later. Bernardo Silva did well by dribbling through the defense line to send a good pass across. It got to the waiting legs of Aguero who was faced with just the post. But the Argentine played it out.

He must have been terrified by that miss. He didn't hesitate to fire a brilliant shot in the 13th minute. Zinchenko got the assist, while he got the goal. Aguero cleared his error with the magnificent strike in the 13th minute. He scored his second goal in the 19th minute. Barkley had a fault in the goal though. The English guy headed the ball towards Aguero, who was faced with the keeper. Well, all the actions in the first half didn't end there. Manchester City got the fourth goal of the match in the 25th minute. A brilliant shot from Gundogan.

The second half was less interesting. Manchester City was calm, and Chelsea struggled to get a goal. They couldn't convert the few chances they had. In fact, Man City still had more chances. In the 55th minute, Sterling was fouled in the 18 yard box and a penalty was given. Aguero was there to play it. And he completed his hatrick on the spot. Sterling made it 6 - 0 at the 80th minute. Another assists from Zinchenko. The young Ukrainian had a wonderful game yesterday. He would have been crowned the man of the match if Aguero didn't score a hatrick.
