Manchester City player ratings vs Chelsea: Erling Haaland is a goalscoring machine - but Ruben Dias and Ederson are exposed in dramatic draw
The Norwegian was a constant handful for the Blues defence all evening but the champions were a shambles at the back...
Erling Haaland helped Manchester City move one point clear at the top of the Premier League but Pep Guardiola was left with plenty to ponder after his defence went missing in a crazy 4-4 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday evening.
The Norwegian put the visitors ahead from the penalty spot after winning a highly contentious spot-kick but the Blues came storming back, equalising through Thiago Silva, who was left criminally unmarked at a corner, before Raheem Sterling put the finishing touches on a brilliant breakaway.
Manuel Akanji headed City level before Haaland struck again, with the the Norwegian bundling a Julian Alvarez cutback over the line shortly after the restart. Ederson gifted Chelsea a leveller when he spilled a Conor Gallagher shot at the feet of Nicolas Jackson but City looked to have one the game when Rodri's speculative effort from outside the area found the back of the net courtesty of a deflection off Thiago Silva.
However, Guardiola's defence let him down again in injury time, with the usually flawless Dias putting the seal on a shocking display by giving away a penalty that City academy graduate Cole Palmer stuck away to earn the hosts a deserved draw.
