Man City's Riyad Mahrez celebrates after scoring against Chelsea
Manchester City kicked off their year in ominous fashion, with a 1-0 win at Chelsea cutting their gap to Premier League leaders Arsenal to five points.
Arsenal's draw at home to Newcastle on Tuesday opened the door for the second-placed defending champions to reduce the deficit and, after a below-par first half, City eventually ramped up the pressure in the second period and broke through when two subs combined, with Riyad Mahrez tucking in Jack Grealish's low cross (63).
GOAL! Chelsea 0-1 Man City (Mahrez, 63)
INSTANT IMPACT FROM THE SUBS!
Inspired substitions from Guardiola, or what...
Grealish is fed by De Bruyne on the left side of the box and his ball across the six-yard box evades both Kepa and Cucurella, who could and should have done more, and is tapped in at the far post by Mahrez.
Chelsea 0-0 Man City

16: GREAT TACKLE!
Real encouragement here for Chelsea, who are looking much brighter than they did in the second half at the City Ground, and Pulisic so nearly has a chance to shoot in the box before a brilliant last-ditch tackle from Stones.
It leads to the home side's first corner, which ultimately comes to nothing.
