This match marked the debuts of two new Man City players, Omar Marmoush and Abdukodir Khusanov. However, Khusanov had a debut to forget.
In the third minute, the Uzbek defender made a serious mistake. He fumbled when the ball bounced over his head and then continued to make an unsafe pass back. Jackson quickly broke free, passed the ball to Noni Madueke who finished close to the goal, opening the score for Chelsea.
Having taken an early lead, Man City pressed forward with a strong attack. Phil Foden's shot hit the post, while Josko Gvardiol missed at least two good chances from close range.
Haaland has flourished since signing a new contract.
After much pressure, Man City finally equalized in the 42nd minute. From a sharp counterattack from Ilkay Gundogan, Gvardiol rushed in to score the rebound against Chelsea, after Matheus Nunes' unsuccessful attempt to finish.
In the second half, Man City continued to control the game. In the 63rd minute, Erling Haaland took advantage of Levi Colwill's mistake, got away from the goalkeeper and finished delicately, raising the score to 2-1 for Man City.
In the 85th minute, Haaland completed his double after an assist from Foden. The Norwegian striker has 18 goals in the Premier League this season, just 1 less than Mohamed Salah.
This result helped Man City rise to 4th place in the Premier League rankings, surpassing Chelsea. Meanwhile, "The Blues" have gone through the 4th consecutive year unable to beat Man City at Etihad.
