Kevin De Bruyne sends Man City top with victory over Chelsea

Kevin De Bruyne netted an excellent winner as Manchester City beat Chelsea 1-0 at Stamford Bridge to move back to the top of the Premier League table.

City dominated much of the game and were rewarded when De Bruyne found the back of the net in the second half to push his side ahead of Manchester United on goal difference at the table's summit.

Chelsea had an early chance after three minutes with N'Golo Kante picking out Alvaro Morata in the middle, only for the striker to head just wide of the target.

City could have had a goal shortly after when Gabriel Jesus charged down a poor Thibaut Courtois clearance, but luckily for Chelsea the ball flew over the bar.
