Chelsea vs Manchester City: The Post-Match Stats

● In his 882nd game as a manager across all competitions, this was the first time that Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola saw his side both score and concede 4+ in the same match.

● This was only the fifth match in Premier League history to see as many as four equalising goals scored, after Everton v Leeds in October 1999, Charlton v West Ham in November 2001, Tottenham v Reading in December 2007, and Liverpool v Arsenal in April 2009.

● Chelsea have won just one of their seven Premier League games at Stamford Bridge this season (D3 L3), their joint-fewest number of wins after their first seven home matches in a league campaign.
