In the opening round of the Premier League 2024/2025, Manchester City kicked off their campaign with a strong start, defeating Chelsea 2-0 on Sunday (18th) at Stamford Bridge in London. Pep Guardiola’s team, in pursuit of a fifth consecutive English title, demonstrated their strength and started the season in the same convincing manner as they ended the last one.
The match began with Chelsea applying strong pressure, hoping to take advantage of the home crowd. However, it was City who took the lead in the 18th minute of the first half. Erling Haaland, ever lethal, received a precise pass from Bernardo Silva and made no mistake, putting the visitors ahead.
Chelsea tried to respond, particularly in the second half, but struggled to break through City’s solid defense. In the 65th minute, Brazilian Savinho, one of City’s new signings, had to be substituted due to an injury, making way for Phil Foden. The young Englishman added more dynamism to the midfield, maintaining control of the game.
In the final minutes, Mateo Kovacic, a former Chelsea player, scored City’s second goal with a superb long-range shot, sealing the Citizens’ victory. With this result, Manchester City begins the Premier League at the top of the table, while Chelsea looks for their first win in the next round.
Manchester City now prepares to host Ipswich in the second round, while Chelsea will seek to recover away against Wolverhampton. BB score, Your Score App for Every Game!
