Manchester City lead Manchester United on goal difference at the top of the Premier League after Kevin De Bruyne superbly saw off Chelsea.
Kevin De Bruyne scored the only goal in sublime fashion as Manchester City returned to the top of the Premier League with a deserved 1-0 win over champions Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Pep Guardiola’s side made it eight consecutive wins in all competitions and dominated for long periods against Chelsea, whose limited attacking intent was further compromised by top scorer Alvaro Morata limping off in the 35th minute with an apparent left hamstring injury.
The win saw Manchester City back to the top of the league after Manchester United leapfrogged them earlier on the day with a 4:0 victory against Crystal Palace.
