86′
Goal Samir Nasri
GOAL! Manchester City 2-1 Chelsea - that could be a huge, huge goal. Manchester City look to have nicked three points here and they could be three vital ones in deciding the outcome of this season's title race. Samir Nasri approaches the penalty area and plays the ball into the feet of Carlos Tevez. The Argentine picks out the Frenchman's run with a quick pass and he chips his shot over Petr Cech.
 
78′
Penalty Goal Sergio Agüero
GOAL! Manchester City 1-1 Chelsea - Roberto Mancini's team did not look like they knew how to find their way back into this game but with a stroke of luck, they are level. Chelsea have defended resolutely but Mike Dean has no hesitation in pointing to the spot when Michael Essien blocks a shot with his arms, which were very much raised in the air. Sergio Aguero dispatches the penalty low to Petr Cech's right.
 
60′
Goal Gary Cahill
GOAL! Manchester City 0-1 Chelsea - goals in consecutive games for Gary Cahill! A Chelsea corner is headed back by Yaya Toure, but Gareth Barry's attempted clearance is atrocious. It falls straight back for Cahill, who drills a shot that is deflected past Joe Hart by Yaya Toure.
