Manchester City 1 Chelsea 2Sergio Aguero missed a penalty as Chelsea came from behind to snatch a 2-1 Premier League win at the Etihad Stadium and delay Manchester City’s title-winning party. Victory over the side they will face in the Champions League final in three weeks’ time would have seen City confirmed as Premier League champions for the third time in four years on Saturday. That meant Thomas Tuchel was unlikely to glean much if he was hoping for Champions League final clues, but the German himself made five changes to his Chelsea team. Werner flicked the ball into the net for Chelsea but was flagged offside and later missed the target with a tame effort. The finish was frantic with Chelsea having two goals disallowed before Sterling had a penalty appeal turned down and Alonso then grabbed a last-gasp winner.
