City deserved to win and Grealish’s “magnificent” display – as Pep Guardiola described it – is a welcome omen for the Three Lions’ hopes in Qatar. Phillips, like the winger, can hope to be in the 26-man party after recovering from a dislocated shoulder. Phillips said: “It’s an amazing feeling. I’m happy to get back out there and play with the guys. Not so much [been speaking to] Gareth. I spoke to [his] the staff and doctors monitor my progress. “A few days after the operation I thought I would do as much as I could to be in shape. I did more sessions than I would have done to get back into shape. “Having not played for a while, it’s scary to step on the pitch for one of my first appearances for the club. With my injuries I haven’t played 100% because of my shoulder. Now that’s settled, I can go back to who I was before. I hope it will put me in a good position.” Guardiola said: “Calvin played a good 40 minutes. He didn’t play for a long time and he played with an incredible personality. Of course, he has to get used to some things that are normal to play.” For Graham Potter, defeat means Chelsea have won just two of their last seven games and the end of their chances in a competition they would have hoped to win. The manager takes Chelsea to a rejuvenated Newcastle on Saturday in need of a win. He said: “It always worries me when we don’t get results. Our performances were not what we wanted in the last two games. But today we wanted the team to look like that. Overall there were quite a few positives – it was a step forward for us.” After a pre-kick-off blue-themed laser show, those in a lighter shade took customary possession of the ball and invited those in a darker shade to chase it down as a Grealish slalom run ended with the winger injured before he could recover . Further pressure on City came through Grealish and Sergio Gómez, whose cross went past Édouard Mendy on the right wing. When Stefan Ortega had a clearance, Chelsea were as high as their 18-yard line, but City broke through. In a flash, Gómez spotted Julián Álvarez whose move released the effervescent Grealish. Another burst spooked Álvarez and when play broke out, it was the Englishman again who fired from outside the area. Riyad Mahrez finds a gap in the Chelsea wall to score from a free-kick.

Pace and power showed when Armando Broja hit Rúben Dias – illegally – and the original Grealish was brought down by Kalidou Koulibaly.

The roll call of chances added to an Álvarez effort that led to the eighth corner of the tie, Rico Lewis’s quick-fire ball requiring a keeper and Chelsea’s Lewis Hall spurning a golden opening that he designed. A squeeze by Broja on Ortega – the City keeper almost managed to clear – meant the second turn could be as lively as the first: this was confirmed after Álvarez picked Mateo Kovacic’s pocket and Marc Cucurella had to challenge Riyad Mahrez to recover. Now Bernardo Silva replaced Ilkay Gündogan and Phillips came on for Rodri as Grealish – twice – forced Mendy into saves before City took the lead. Trevoh Chalobah’s foul on Mahrez gave the Algerian the chance to float in a free-kick – the ball may have hit Broja against the wall as Mendy was tackled to his left. Quick guide

Carabao Cup Summary

projection Angelo Ogbonna missed the crucial penalty as a youngster Blackburn are rejected West Ham out of the Carabao Cup 10-9 on spot kicks. After 19 successful penalties, Ogbonna’s effort crashed off the underside of the crossbar to send Championship Rovers through to the fourth round after a 2-2 draw at the London Stadium. It was a deserved victory for a Rovers side with an average age of just 22-and-a-half as Jon Dahl Tomasson made 11 changes with more than one eye in Sunday’s Championship derby against Burnley. They took the lead with an early goal from Jack Vale before Pablo Fornals drew West Ham level and Michail Antonio put the hosts in front. But substitute Ben Brereton Díaz, Rovers’ top scorer, sent the game to penalties and Italian defender Ogbonna was the man to fall. The result means all six of London’s top clubs are through to the fourth round, with third-tier Charlton the only team from the capital in Thursday’s fourth-round draw. Boubacar Traore’s late winner was sent off Wolves through, the substitute struck with five minutes remaining, changed a lot Leeds and sealed the home team’s 1-0 victory. It clarified a lackluster game that appeared to be going to penalties and gave incoming Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui and his coaching staff food for thought.
Lopetegui is set to travel to the club’s training base in Compton on Friday before attending Saturday’s visit of Arsenal before officially taking charge on Monday. The former Spain manager’s lieutenants were at Molineux having already briefly introduced themselves to the squad. PA Medium Photo: Rob Newell/CameraSport Thanks for your response. Chelsea’s response included a cross from Hakim Zig which Ortega palmed away for a corner which Zig then headed wide. City’s second was set up and finished by Álvarez as Grealish cut to the striker who flicked a 40-yard pass onto the toe of Mahrez. The No 26 struck onto his left foot and Mendy saved low only to see the predatory Álvarez follow. By this juncture, he was well behind for Chelsea. They almost made it to the halfway mark when Ziyech parried Gomez and fed the ball to Hall, but the youngster – who turned 18 in September – spilled the shot and Ortega cleared.
