The Englishman’s cross, within minutes of coming on, found Manchester City’s other substitute, Riyad Mahrez, who tapped in the match’s lone goal. The win saw the Cityzens close the gap on Arsenal to five points and keep the pressure on the Gunners.
Speaking on Premier League productions after the game, Grealish admitted that he was looking to Erling Haaland to get on the end of the ball, but was happy it found Mahrez. He said:

Chelsea goalkeeper questioned after Manchester City goal
Glenn Hoddle and Shay Given were unwilling to let Kepa off the hock and claimed that it was a big mistake from the Spaniard. The goalkeeper could have caught the ball with extended arms but chose to let it run across the goal and that saw Mahrez tap in the winner.
On Premier League productions, Hoddle said:
Given echoed the thoughts and added:
Chelsea are now 10th in the league table – 10 points off the top four.
