Tevez the difference as Chelsea slump to first defeat
September 26, 2010 - 0:0
Chelsea’s 100% start to the Premiership campaign ended at Manchester City were a Carlos Tevez strike was enough to send the champions to a 1-0 defeat.
The game never really got going until the second half when Tevez kept up his impressive goalscoring record against Chelsea with his sixth goal in five league appearances against the Blues.For their part Chelsea had a day to forget as they rarely threatened the City goal and even substituted the anonymous Didier Drogba.
Branislav Ivanovic did hit the bar for the visitor’s with a header while Michael Essien also blazed over, but overall there were few chances at either end.
The decisive strike arrived just before the hour mark as Tevez burst forward and from 20 yard fired through the legs of Ashley Cole and into the back of the net via a post.
