AFP - Manchester City took revenge for their Champions League final loss to Chelsea and secured a big three points in the early running for the Premier League title with a 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge. The most painful of those came in Porto as Chelsea lifted the Champions League to deny City the crowning glory of the club's rise since an Abu Dhabi takeover in 2008. However, City's lack of a prolific goalscorer to turn that dominance into goals was again exposed. That was just the 15th Premier League goal Chelsea had conceded in 25 games since Tuchel took charge. But the Premier League champions' profligacy was not punished and United's shock 1-0 home defeat to Aston Villa capped a stunning Saturday for City.
