#2 Sarri ball stops Guardiola juggernaut

Chelsea's most promising win under Maurizio Sarri
Chelsea's most promising win under Maurizio Sarri

After the first half a dozen games of the season, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea were the three sides who looked to be the contenders for the Premier League title this campaign.

However, the defeats against Tottenham Hotspur and Wolves have pegged the Blues back in the title race.

Earlier, Liverpool continued their unbeaten start to the campaign after brushing Bournemouth away by a four-goal margin.

Liverpool's victory meant a draw or a win for City would take Pep Guardiola's side back to the top of the League table. However, it didn't turn out the way the Spaniard would have expected at the Stamford Bridge.

Manchester City were the better team in the first half, but Chelsea hit them hard after half-time.

In the second half, Sarri ball was at its full swing as they doubled their lead from a corner. It not only ended City's unbeaten run but just moved them into the second place below Liverpool in the table.
