This was the Premier League champions against the champions-elect and the gulf felt even greater than the extraordinary 25 points that now separates fifth-placed Chelsea from top-of-the-table Manchester City.
Bernardo Silva scored the only goal as Manchester City took another stride towards the Premier League title with a 1-0 victory over lacklustre Chelsea.

The scoreline did not reflect City’s dominance of a one-sided contest at the Etihad Stadium, with fading champions Chelsea offering little as they slipped to a fourth defeat in five league games.
The visitors did at least make City dig deep for their victory as, playing without a recognised striker they sat back, but Silva’s 46th-minute breakthrough was no less than the hosts deserved.

This is an embarrassment. Should never be seen in a football game. Antonio Conte & Chelsea should be humiliated for this pathetic display. The game still had 15 minutes left. Pathetic. pic.twitter.com/V3CJTwrEyO

Hey @OllieHolt22, is Conte the enemy of football yet? Is he obsolete yet? Did Chelsea play like Stoke today? Or those descriptions are reserved only for Mourinho and Manchester United?

Which manager will get sacked first?
Conte – RT
Wenger – LIKE pic.twitter.com/BIThkZXpiy— BlameFootball (@blamefootball) March 5, 2018
Chelsea are 1-0 down in the 74th minute here & have 9 men behind the ball. Most of their players weren’t even interested to dispossess Manchester City in the latter stages but you won’t hear the media say ‘boring’ or ‘defensive’ ContΓ© because it doesn’t fit their anti-Mou agenda. pic.twitter.com/WOrLXM1I3a

Conte lost his sanity in August when he was left with 16 players to fight 4 competitions in a year after a Europe break. We’ll do this to any manager.

Antonio Conte’s response to Jamie Redknapp’s comments on Chelsea’s “crime against football”: “I think that you must have knowledge to speak about tactics and not only to speak in a stupid way.”
Antonio, might want to get a shot on target next time mate. pic.twitter.com/ep3Rpyr8oy

As much as i support Conte … i agree with @GullitR on @ChelseaFC tactics last night. No subs were made until the 78th min, by then it was already too late. Should have tried something earlier.#CFC
