Play by play

95'
It was petulant in parts but, my, what a game. Join us again next time and read all the reaction and reports live on Soccernet.
95'
City have ended their seven game run of draws. Chelsea are stopped, and have Man Utd breathing down their necks, just two points clear of their rivals.
95'
Carlos Tevez's free-kick sealed the win in a game they probably deserved to win in the end. It was a rollercoaster of a final few minutes, with Shay Given saving a penalty from Frank Lampard.
95'
Yes, City have done it. 2-1!
95'
Toure clears, for the last time?
94'
Blue Moon rings out again. Wright-Phillips breaks down the right, and forces a throw. It's in the right end for City.
94'
City back in numbers. Zabaleta eventually clears after a host of aerial balls into the box.
93'
Tevez right down the middle, two defenders, three attackers, he chooses the wrong ball though. Kicks it right to Ivanovic.
92'
Tevez tracks back and does well to steal the ball, he releases Adebayor, but that is a tired striker! Chelsea have it back and go on the attack.
92'
Long ball from Cech, Toure controls and hacks clear. Can they hold on?
91'
Robinho is off, not that we've seen him much. Zabaleta comes on.
90'
Adebayor slots Tevez through, if he was quicker he would have got in on goal, but Ivanovic comes across and closes him down. His shot goes near post and Cech blocks.
90'
How many minutes added on? Five we hear...
89'
Lampard has his back to goal in the box and lays it off to Anelka. His tame shot is gathered by Given.
89'
Just a few minutes left...
88'
De Jong and Kompany do really well to close down the space. Adebayor on the break, but it's a goalkick.
88'
Essien is in the back four now.. Chelsea pushing for everything they can get.
88'
Florent Malouda is coming on. John Terry off. That doesn't happen much, but he is limping a lot.
87'
What an end. Can Chelsea do it? That was a glorious chance, they may not get another.
86'
Given came out well, but Drogba will really rue that chance.
86'
Essien threads the ball to Drogba. He's through the gap, in on goal. But misses the target!
85'
Chelsea have lost it. When things don't go their way, this is what happens. Not quite the Indestructibles we saw last week.
84'
Deco going in the book too. Six yellow for Chelsea. And a fine for them. Petulant.
82'
Deco crashes through Barry, now Tevez breaks on the advantage and Howard Webb books Ashley Cole for clipping the Argentine.
82'
It's still 2-1. A blatant penalty, despite Drogba's arched back. But Given did well. It was a poor pen though.
