| Riyad Mahrez has been involved in 10 goals in his 11 starts for Manchester City this season – four goals and six assists |
Premier League champions Manchester City got back to winning ways by coming from behind to beat in-form Chelsea in an entertaining game.
The visitors, who had won their previous seven away games, led when N’Golo Kante slipped the ball past Ederson from Marco Kovacic’s aerial pass.
But City equalised when Kevin de Bruyne’s shot hit Kurt Zouma and wrongfooted goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Riyad Mahrez put the champions – who move above Chelsea into third place – ahead with a fine finish after cutting in from the right wing.
Both sides could have scored more in a chaotic first half, City going closest when Sergio Aguero hit the crossbar after a poor clearance by Kepa.
There were fewer incidents in the second half although Aguero hobbled off with an injury and had to be replaced by Gabriel Jesus.
Raheem Sterling thought he had scored a late third for City but it was ruled out by the video assistant referee in a very tight offside call.
City sit nine points behind leaders Liverpool, who beat them 3-1 in the last game before the international break.
