Manchester City crushed Chelsea 3-0 with a 17-minute second-half burst to tighten the Premier League title race to six points behind leaders Arsenal. Nico O'Reilly, Marc Guéhi, and Jérémy Doku scored in quick succession after the break to seal City’s emphatic win at Stamford Bridge. City’s victory follows Arsenal’s loss to Bournemouth, giving Pep Guardiola’s side control over their own title fate. Chelsea’s poor display exposed ongoing issues with squad mentality and direction under current ownership, dashing Champions League hopes. A potential victory over Arsenal at the Etihad next week would cut the gap to just three points with an extra game in hand.
