Chelsea 1-3 Manchester City: De Bruyne stars as Guardiola's side cruise to victory

 Kevin De Bruyne scored one and assisted another as Manchester City eased to a 3-1 victory at Chelsea on Sunday.

Manchester City impressively overcame the absence of key first-team players due to coronavirus as they eased to a 3-1 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. 

Pep Guardiola's side had their game at Everton postponed earlier this week due to a COVID-19 outbreak at the club, one that left them without six squad members for their first match of 2021. 

But City, who handed a league debut to goalkeeper Zack Steffen, were three up inside 34 minutes thanks to strikes from Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden and star of the show Kevin De Bruyne.
