On November 23, 2019, Manchester City came from behind to leapfrog Chelsea into third in the Premier League with a 2-1 victory at the Etihad, keeping their title challenge alive.
Chelsea had taken the lead 21 minutes in when N'Golo Kante made a run from midfield and slotted the ball under Ederson from Mateo Kovacic's pass.
However, Manchester City got the slice of fortune they needed to gain a foothold back in the game when Kevin de Bruyne's tame shot deflected off Kurt Zouma to leave Kepa Arrizabalaga wrong-footed.
Riyad Mahrez then turned the game on its head with a brilliant jinking run and finish into the far corner as City clicked into gear.
Manchester City's margin of victory could have been even greater as Raheem Sterling found the bottom corner deep into stoppage time, only for VAR to rule the goal out for offside.
