Manchester City have returned to the top four of the Premier League after coming from behind to beat Chelsea 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday night.

The Blues had opened scoring in the third minute when Noni Madueke scored to put the visitors ahead, but City fought back.

Josko Gvardiol equalised before halftime as he reacted quickest to finish the rebound after goalkeeper Robert Sanchez had denied Matheus Nunes.

Erling Haaland then took advantage of a major blunder from Sanchez to score the decisive goal, giving the hosts the lead for the first time on 68 minutes.

Phil Foden then sealed the rout three minutes from time.
