City rout Chelsea 6-0

Chelsea were handed their heaviest loss in 28 years yesterday when Manchester City routed Maurizio Sarri’s side 6-0 in the Premier League. The meeting of the past two champions was a complete mismatch as Sergio Aguero scored a hat-trick for the second successive weekend. City regained top spot from Liverpool in their title defence as 2017 champions Chelsea ended the weekend by dropping out of the Champions League places into sixth. In the other match yesterday, Christian Eriksen created the opener before scoring himself as Tottenham beat Leicester 3-1, putting the north London club five points behind front-runners Manchester City and Liverpool.
