Six days after being involved in a crazy match against Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea were involved in another Premier League classic when they welcomed Manchester City to Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon. After a slow start to the campaign, Chelsea have been finding some form in recent times and were looking to pull off another shock against the reigning Premier League champions.
The Blues didn't get the three points they wanted, but they did manage to hold City to a draw in an eight-goal thriller. The lead changed multiple times during the game and, when Rodri netted to make it 4-3 with four minutes remaining, it looked as if the away side would take all three points.

But Chelsea kept battling and they managed to salvage something from the game in the dying embers. Mauricio Pochettino's side were given a penalty in stoppage-time and former City midfielder Cole Palmer made no mistake from the spot to give his side a point.
Peter Drury, regarded as one of the best English-speaking commentators in football, was covering the game for Sky Sports. Drury, as always, was at his poetic best during the match.
He was in such top form that a video posted on X (former Twitter) compiling his commentary for every goal in the match has gone viral, picking up over 1.7k reposts and 5k 'likes'. View his comments after every goal below...
