Sensational Start to the Premier League Season as Manchester City Crushes Chelsea 4-0Sensational Start to the Premier League Season as Manchester City Crushes Chelsea 4-0 The Premier League returned with a bang as defending champions Manchester City delivered a resounding performance to humiliate Chelsea 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium in their opening fixture. From the first whistle, City dominated possession and peppered Chelsea’s goal with attacks. Kevin De Bruyne opened the scoring early on with a stunning strike from outside the area. The Belgian playmaker’s precision shot left Chelsea goalkeeper Édouard Mendy rooted to the spot. Chelsea struggled to create any meaningful chances as City continued to control the tempo of the game. Jack Grealish doubled the lead in the 32nd minute, finishing off a slick passing move with a composed finish. The Blues were completely overwhelmed in the second half, with City adding two more goals to their tally. Erling Haaland, the summer signing from Borussia Dortmund, made an instant impact with his debut goal, tapping in Joao Cancelo’s cross from close range. Ilkay Gündogan completed the rout with a fourth goal, drilling home a shot from the edge of the area. Chelsea was unable to find a consolation and suffered a comprehensive defeat that exposed their weaknesses. Manchester City’s performance was a testament to their quality and depth. Manager Pep Guardiola’s team played with intensity, precision, and ruthless efficiency. Kevin De Bruyne was once again the heartbeat of the side, while Haaland and Grealish looked like they had been playing together for years. Chelsea, on the other hand, looked disjointed and lacked the creativity and attacking threat to trouble City. Manager Thomas Tuchel has a lot of work to do if he wants to turn things around. The opening day victory sends a clear message that Manchester City is the team to beat in the Premier League once again. Chelsea, meanwhile, must regroup and find a way to improve if they are to challenge for the title.
