Man City 1-1 Chelsea: Rodri salvages point late on after Raheem Sterling scores against old club as Pep Guardiola's men suffer blip in Premier League title pursuit

Manchester City suffered a dent to their Premier League title ambitions but salvaged a point late on against Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium.

Raheem Sterling put Chelsea ahead in the first half but did not celebrate against his former club.

Chances went begging for Erling Haaland and it looked as if Chelsea might cling on to a win with City profligate in front of goal.

But Rodri found the breakthrough after 83 minutes to give Pep Guardiola's side a point and spare them a first defeat since December 6.
