The Blues started well but played into the visitors' hands, with Manuel Pellegrini clearly setting his stall out to hit Chelsea on the counter.
After a frantic start that brought chances at both ends City soon emerged as the more dominant force and were ahead when Sergio Aguero fired home 20 seconds after the Blues had a corner.
Chelsea attacked with renewed vigour at the start of the second half but another lightining break, lead by Kevin De Bruyne and Samir Nasri, brought another Aguero goal, this time a smart finish over Thibaut Coutois.
The contest was already settled when Fernandinho broke from midfield to go through one-on-one, Courtois bringing down the Brazilian to see a red card and a City penalty.
Aguero grabbed his hat-trick from the spot to leave yet more questions over Cherlsea's future.
But who was the star man at Stamford Bridge?
