In the 68^th minute, the home team took the lead for the 1^st time in the clash as Erling Haaland scored after Ederson’s assist. Chelsea goalkeeper Sanchez made a huge mistake leaving his net, and that led the Norwegian forward to chip the ball over him and secure the lead for his team.

Phil Foden left no questions about who would win the match when he scored in the 87th minute to make his team lead 2 goals as Erling Haaland did the tough job of keeping the ball against two Chelsea defenders and then provided it to his teammate, who scored with a brilliant shot into the bottom left corner.
