WITH MUCH TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT RAHEEM STERLING WAS LEFT OUT OF CHELSEA’S SQUAD WHILST PLAYING AGAINST MANCHESTER CITY ON 18/08/2024 (INCLUDING FROM HIS OWN CAMP WHO SAY THEY WOULD LIKE “FURTHER CLARITY” ABOUT HIS FUTURE IN THE CLUB) IT DIDN’T DAMPEN THE FACT THAT CHELSEA WERE PLAYING MANCHESTER CITY IN THE NEW SEASON OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE ON A GLORIOUSLY SUNNY AFTERNOON! CHELSEA HAD 10 SHOTS, WITH 3 SHOTS ON TARGET, AND MAN CITY 11 SHOTS, WITH 5 SHOTS ON TARGET, INCLUDING 2 STUNNING GOALS, FROM ERLING HAALAND AT 18 MINS., AND MATEO KOVACIC AT 84 MINS., MEANING THAT THIS SUPERB GAME CULMINATED IN A 2 – 0 WIN TO MANCHESTER CITY, WITH A FANTASTIC START TO THE PREMIER LEAGUE SEASON!
