Hello and welcome to Sportz Point's coverage of the Premier League 2024-25.
What happened in the game?
Chelsea lost to Manchester City by 2-0 on Matchday 1 at Stamford Bridge in London. City started their title defence with a hard-fought victory against the Blues. Erling Haaland provided the Citizens with the lead in the first half but Chelsea improved a lot after conceding that goal. They ended the first half on a positive note but City started the second half strongly.
Chelsea were trying everything, introducing Pedro Neto and some other newcomers. Man City didn't create any big chances in the second half but the second-half goal came following a mistake from Fofana in the 84th minute. Kovacic dropped a Man of the Match performance and to secure that award, the Croatian struck a screamer. It was enough to drop the shoulders of the Chelsea players but it was a decent performance from Enzo Maresca's side on Matchday 1.
