Second-half collapse ends City run and lets leaders Chelsea off

First-half goals from David Silva, his fourth in three games, and Fernandinho’s first of the season apparently had City cruising to within a point of Chelsea after their earlier draw at Southampton.
But if occasions such as this test the mettle of true champions, this was a test that City failed badly as a much improved second half performance from Sean Dyche’s relegation-threatened side brought them a deserved point.
