Chelsea 0 Man City 0: GOA... NO. Costa is ruled offside. Chelsea bossing it so far.
Chelsea 0 Man City 0: Another chance for Chelsea! Hart tipping Loftus-Cheek's shot wide, the referee inexplicably not giving a corner though.
Chelsea 0 Man City 0: Good save from Courtois who saves from De Bruyne as he is effectively one on one with the keeper. Chelsea clear the resulting corner easily.
Manuel Pellegrini gets some disco dancing in during the first half
Chelsea 0 Man City 1: Chelsea get close to the City goal thanks to some good work down the left from Pedro, but Costa can't get the final touch. Then Loftus-Cheek blasts one over the bar.
