Manchester City stumbled at home in the Premier League title race on Saturday.
City are now five points off the top after Pep Guardiola’s 10 men were beaten 2-0 by Crystal Palace at the Etihad.
City’s first home defeat of the season rounded off a perfect day for the Chelsea in the title race.
Wilfried Zaha punished slack defending from Ruben Dias and Aymeric Laporte to fire into the far corner after six minutes.
Laporte was then sent-off for pulling down Zaha as the last man in first-half stoppage time.
Gabriel Jesus thought he had equalised midway through the second-half only for the goal to be ruled out for offside against Phil Foden.
The 10-men were then caught out two minutes from time when Connor Gallagher smashed high past Ederson.
Arsenal are up to fifth after a fast start and some inspired goalkeeping from Aaron Ramsdale earned the Gunners a 2-0 win at Leicester.
