Manchester City's Winning Streak Halted by Resilient Chelsea: Title Race Intensifies

Manchester City's winning streak in the Premier League came to an end as they were held to a draw by Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium. Despite a late goal from Rodri salvaging a point for the champions, they struggled to break down a well-defending Chelsea team. Both sides missed clear chances, with Erling Haaland missing twice from close range. Chelsea capitalized on a break just before half-time, with Raheem Sterling scoring. Manchester City will now play their game in hand against Brentford, while Chelsea prepares for the EFL Cup Final against Liverpool.

In a match that saw Liverpool and Arsenal secure wins, Manchester City's draw means they have lost ground on their rivals. However, there is still an opportunity for City to move into second place if they can beat Brentford. Despite the disappointment of dropping points, City has a history of scoring late goals and turning losses into draws or wins. This skill could prove valuable in the title race.
