Chelsea 4-4 Man City LIVE RESULT: Cole Palmer seals big point in EIGHT-GOAL thriller with 95th-min penalty – updates

That's all folks

Thanks for tuning in with us for Chelsea and City's amazing 4-4 draw.

Game of the season? Probably.

City led first, Chelsea pegged them back, led themselves, before City turned it around.

Pep will be fuming his side dropped points from winning positions twice at 3-2 and 4-3.

Until next time.

Carragher's wrong Chelsea call

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher was forced to take back a comment about Nicolas Jackson during Chelsea's Premier League clash with Manchester City.

Jackson got on the scoresheet in the 67th minute to bring the score level for the third time - just a few seconds after Carragher said that he "hadn't seen much" of him.

Following the 22-year-old's goal, Carragher was forced to track back on his comment.

While commentating on the match, the former defender joked: "And that’s why am not a coach!"

Sterling tackle

Football fans were left stunned after Raheem Sterling clattered into former team-mate Phil Foden during Chelsea's Premier League clash with Manchester City.

Sterling was one of Maurico Pochettino's star players as the Blues held treble winners Man City to a 4-4 draw.

He fired his team ahead in the 37th minute following Erling Haaland's opener and Thiago Silva's equaliser.

But additional goals from Nicolas Jackson, Cole Palmer, Manuel Akanji, Rodri and Haaland saw the points shared at Stamford Bridge.

With the scores level in the final stages of the game, Sterling gave Chelsea fans a fright after committing a foul on Foden on the edge of the penalty area.

The Chelsea winger lunged in on the City star in a powerful tackle, but did not get any of the ball.

Wind-up merchant

Cole Palmer was sent flying by Erling Haaland as he tried to pull off a cheeky stunt against Manchester City.

The Chelsea hero equalised in the game with a late penalty but was not done winding up his old team in the thrilling Premier League 4-4 draw.

Man City had one last chance to win the game after being awarded a free-kick on the edge of the host's penalty area.

Haaland, along with Bernardo Silva, Kyle Walker and Jack Grealish, were discussing their plan for the set-piece when Palmer came over.

The former City star, 20, tried to walk into their meeting, however, Haaland was less than impressed.

The Norwegian was quick to shove Palmer away and keep his side's plan to themselves.

Thriller at Stamford Bridge

Pep Guardiola believes the thrilling 4-4 draw between Chelsea and Man City was a great advertisement for the Premier League.

He was also full of praise for the Blues.

He told beinSPORTS: "I give credit to the opponent, it was a good advertisement for the Premier League honestly!"

Guardiola's mind games

If Pep sees Liverpool and Arsenal as threats to Man City's Premier League crown, he's given his greatest indication yet.

Talking about the draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, he was quick to bring his rivals into the conversation.

He told Sky Sports: "Liverpool couldn't win here and they were much much better than Arsenal."

We feel a bit exhausted

Manchester City midfielder Rodri, speaking to Sky Sports: "We feel a bit exhausted to be honest, with that game with that rhythm.

"We know how tough it is to come here with the team they built. They signed massive players, five, six seven and the level of the team has risen. It wasn't our best performance today, we can look more to ourselves, conceding four goals is not normal for us. Sometimes football is like this, but we have to work on the mistakes.

"We played what they wanted to, quick transitions, they are a better team in those situations. They are faster, stronger and we have to play our game and we struggled.

"Not losing all the balls we lost, having more of the ball, individual performance of us as a team. We support each other and move forward. Even though it wasn't the best day, we keep pushing.

"We were close to winning his game a bit disappointed of this fact. Big credit fo the opponent they created pressure, we are the treble winners, everyone wants to beat us.

"We're first in the league so we will be refreshed to come back."

Rollercoaster

This is Pep Guardiola's 882nd game as a manager, and the first to see his team both score and concede four goals in a single match.

Thanks, Opta.

Upmost respect

Cole Palmer quotes, as promised. He said: "Very strange the first time I have played against Manchester City - I have the upmost respect for the club I spent 15 years at and it is nice to see some friends.

"Unlucky to not get the win. I have many City fans I know but it is the game.

"It was a long time waiting (for the penalty), but I felt confident. I've had a few now, I kept focused in the 90-something minute. I won't say I work on penalties, I don't. I just trusted in my ability.

"I was excited to see the game, we went behind a few times and bounced back."

Awkward…

Genuinely painful post-match interview moment there.

It was all going quite well until Raheem Sterling got something in his eye. The reporter wanted a closer inspection and offered to get what I think was grass out for the Chelsea winger.

"No, you'll just get more dirt in my eye," responds Sterling before everyone forgot what question had been asked. Raz hands the Player of the Match award to Palmer and the pair walk off.

Reaction

"It's a game innit," Cole Palmer, 2023.

Full quotes and reaction to come from Chelsea's playmaker.

A classic

Micah Richards is in bits in the Sky Sports studio. And he's in absolutely no doubt that this was a stone cold classic.

He said: "It has to. It was exceptional, it was furious, it was frantic, it was fantastic. It had everything, goals, bad defending, good play, tackles… That man Cole Palmer. Was it the right move for him? It certainly was because he was outstanding today. Showing his worth for £45m.

"If you were a spectator today you got your money's worth!"

Cojones

Cole Palmer stopping up to take a penalty in the 95th-minute, against his boyhood club. As Alan Shearer has just tweeted: "Big mineral’s Cole Palmer."

Couldn't put it better myself, Al. He's only been at the club for 70 days!

What's next?

An international break, unfortunately.

Chelsea return to action with a tough trip to Newcastle at St James' Park.

Manchester City? Well, they host Liverpool in the Saturday lunchtime kick off. I'm sure Jurgen Klopp will be thrilled about that.

Poch blast

Blimey! Mauricio Pochettino is clearly caught up in all the madness. He strides onto the pitch after the full-time whistle, shouting something at the referee.

He regains his senses enough to give Kyle Walker a hug and congratulate his own players. Kind of an odd reaction truth be told.

Chelsea 4-4 Manchester City

98: Over! Kyle Walker is given the honour but bends an effort over the crossbar. That has to be the final chance of the game.

Chelsea 4-4 Manchester City

96: Jackson and Grealish were booked when the referee was surrounded folks. Two minutes left on the clock.

Sterling booked for wiping out Foden just outside the penalty area. Can Manchester City have a crack from here?

Chelsea 3-4 Manchester City

93: VAR has checked it and it's a penalty. No question. A few bookings are tossed out but we'll get to those after young Cole Palmer steps up to take the spot-kick.

Huge pressure.

Chelsea 3-4 Manchester City

90: Armando Broja replaces Moises Caicedo. EIGHT MINUTES OF STOPPAGE TIME. Huge roar from the Chelsea fans - can they conjure up one last chance?

Chelsea 3-4 Manchester City

87: So cruel for Thiago Silva. The ball cannons off his leg and darts into the opposite corner that it was heading. Nothing the goalkeeper could have done about it.
