Kevin De Bruyne netted an excellent winner as Manchester City beat Chelsea 1-0 at Stamford Bridge to move back to the top of the Premier League table.
City dominated much of the game and were rewarded when De Bruyne found the back of the net in the 67th minute with a fine hit past Thibaut Courtois from the edge of the area.
City could have killed off the game late on when Gabriel Jesus volleyed Raheem Sterling's cross goalbound, but Antonio Rudiger was able to clear his effort off the line.
The victory pushed City ahead of Manchester United on goal difference at the table's summit, with Jose Mourinho's side having earlier been top after inflicting a seventh straight Premier League defeat of the season on Crystal Palace with a 4-0 victory at Old Trafford.
MANCHESTER UNITED
United needed just three minutes to break the deadlock, with Juan Mata edging them ahead with a close-range finish after being set up by Marcus Rashford, before Marouane Fellaini met Ashley Young's cross at the far post to make it two after 35 minutes.
