Routine success for the Citizens. All goals and highlights Chelsea vs Manchester City 0:2

On August 18, London hosted the marquee match of the opening round of the English Premier League. Chelsea and Manchester City delivered a rather dull performance, failing to live up to the high expectations.

The game ended with a straightforward 2-0 victory for the visitors, thanks to goals from Haaland and Kovacic. After the match, the Norwegian striker took a dig at Cucurella, while Chelsea's new manager lamented the poor finishing but expressed overall satisfaction with his team's performance.

However, Chelsea fans were clearly disappointed. Their team had virtually no chances to secure any points. Notably, the starting lineup featured no summer signings. The average age of Chelsea's starting eleven was just 23 years and 180 days, making it the second youngest in the Premier League's opening round since the 2008/09 season.
