Having officially won the championship three matches early 24 hours earlier when Arsenal "gave up their guns" in the loss to Nottingham Forest in round 37, coach Pep Guardiola had no hesitation in "keeping" almost the entire starting lineup worth 479 million pounds on the bench.

Man City's second team, however, did not make their teammates worry. In the 12th minute, the Etihad team opened the scoring, starting from a missed ball by Chelsea's defenders. Young striker Cole Palmer drove the ball down the left wing and sent a pass to Julian Alvarez, who finished the goal.

Chelsea certainly pressed hard after conceding. Raheem Sterling had a chance to score against his former club but couldn't beat Ortega and Connor Gallagher even hit the post with a header. There were plenty of over-the-top plays that kept the game from going astray.

The match continued to heat up in the second half as both sides played tit for tat with many chances created. Julian Alvarez once again put the ball in the Chelsea net but the goal was not recognized by VAR and the score of 1-0 was maintained until the end of the match.
