City defend the set piece easily and Chelsea are still waiting for that first league away goal of 2019.

Chelsea have had plenty of the ball in the last seven minutes or so. Hazard tries to engineer an opening down the left and is bundled over by Bernardo Silva. Free kick for the visitors...

GOAL! Gundogan gets in on the act as he rifles a first-time effort into the far corner from just outside the area. City are rampant.
