Big turnover wins over Chelsea

　The 37th round of the Premier League season took place on 21 May at the Etihad Stadium between Manchester C, who won their third consecutive Premier League title, and Chelsea, who continue to struggle.

The home side Manchester C made nine changes to their starting line-up from the midweek Champions League. Youngsters such as Cole Palmer and Rico Ruiz were used in the starting line-up. Against Chelsea, who had a number of departures, Chelsea reverted to a back five from the previous week’s back four, with Kai Hafelez and Raheem Sterling up front.

The game got underway in the 12th minute when a Chelsea passing error led to Manchester C winning the ball high up the field and launching a short counter. Julian Alvarez received a pass from Palmer on the right side of the box and fired a right-footed shot into the left of the goal to take the lead. Manchester C came close to scoring a couple of times after that, but Chelsea gradually responded. However, Sterling’s shot from a breakaway was blocked by the goalkeeper and Gallagher’s head from a cross was blocked by the right post, leaving the score at 1-0 going into the second half.

The second half continued with Manchester C retaining possession and Chelsea looking to score on the counter. Manchester C sent their main men out onto the pitch towards the end of the half, but neither side scored a goal and the game ended 1-0. It was the 12th consecutive Premier League win to add to their league domination.

After the game, fans stormed the pitch and the start of the ceremony was delayed, but in the end, manager Josep Guardiola and the players appeared on the pitch, welcomed by the staff who had supported the team. Captain Ilkay Gündoğan raised the trophy and made a lap around the stadium with the manager, coaches and staff.
