Chelsea 2 - 0 Manchester City 20/3/11
A game between two physically strong and expensive squads at the top of the table. Both fighting to ensure for a spot in the Champions League and to be included in the new top teams defining the top spots of the Premier League.
It started a muted affair, with Man City putting up a defensive fortress, and with 0-0 at half time, they looked happy to keep it that way. Chelsea drove forward coming up against a solid defence, with De Jong enforcing the formidably of the Man City back four.
David Luiz was cancelling out Dzeko's efforts upfront, while the brilliant David Silva was lacking attacking support. It was David Luiz who won the free-kick just outside the 18-yard box which he then headed in, 1-0 and the goal that Chelsea desperately needed.
The team celebrated together, before we saw some brilliance from the Brazilian Ramires - using balance, speed and feigning one way then the other to dribble through the Man City defence and slot past Joe Hart.
Chelsea won 2-0 and looked back to their best. Mancini looked angry as he knows these games against the top teams are what defines the top teams.
