Chelsea player ratings vs Man City: Are you watching Gareth Southgate?! Raheem Sterling unplayable in chaotic draw as Cole Palmer shows Pep Guardiola what he's missing

Are Chelsea exclusively serving up chaos now? Just six days after their insane 4-1 Premier League victory over Tottenham, Mauricio Pochettino's side were involved in another stone-cold classic, this time, an absorbing 4-4 draw with treble-winning Manchester City.

The Blues looked impressive going forward throughout, but went behind against the run of play when referee Anthony Taylor controversially penalised Marc Cucurella for fouling Erling Haaland in the box - with the Man City sensation converting the resulting spot-kick.

A rapid and well-deserved double from Thiago Silva and Raheem Sterling put the Blues 2-1 up before Manuel Akanji tied things up on the stroke of half-time. Haaland then doubled his tally early in the second period, but Nicolas Jackson added another tap-in to his collection not long after to make it 3-3.

City thought they'd won it in the 86th minute when Rodri's shot ricocheted off Thiago Silva and into the net, only for Armando Broja to be crunched in the area by Ruben Dias. Up stepped former City man Cole Palmer to earn a point for his new side, who received a lot of criticism when they spent big to sign him this summer. What a bloody game!
