da esport bet： The Spaniard appeared at the crucial moment to preserve City's long unbeaten run at home, but could not prevent them dropping two crucial points
da casino： When Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne are not up to the challenge, at least Manchester City can always rely on Rodri to get them out of trouble, and it was the ex-Atletico Madrid man who stepped up again to earn the Premier League champions a point against Chelsea on Saturday.
Pep Guardiola's side were rattled by a determined Chelsea, and after getting away with some very open defending, they finally fell behind at the end of the first half by the feet of some familiar faces. Cole Palmer combined with Nicolas Jackson, who in turn found Raheem Sterling, who beat his old team-mate Ederson to give Chelsea the lead.
Ederson kept Chelsea in the game with some world-beating saves, twice thwarting Sterling, and City dominated the latter stages of the game. Haaland could not hit the target, however, despite his many shots, but Rodri was the pinball wizard, slamming in an equaliser in the 83rd minute.
City could not find a winner and dropped points in the league for the first time in seven games, giving oxygen to Liverpool and Arsenal in the title race.
GOAL rates City's players from the Etihad Stadium…
Getty ImagesGoalkeeper & Defence
Ederson (8/10):
Made four top draw saves, thwarting Jackson, Sterling twice and Chilwell.
Kyle Walker (6/10):
A bad first half but kept leading City down the right in the second and it eventually paid off.
Manuel Akanji (5/10):
Struggled to handle Sterling.
Ruben Dias (5/10):
Pushed up too high and was caught out by Jackson's through-ball to Sterling.
Nathan Ake (6/10):
Had an intriguing battle with Palmer. Bolstered City's attack each time they went forward.

Kevin De Bruyne (6/10):
Couldn't work his usual magic and didn't combine well with Alvarez. Improved when Bernardo came on.
Rodri (8/10):
Held things together after the break, and had the presence of mind and killer touch to grab the equaliser.
Phil Foden (7/10):
Created most of City's danger in the second half.

Julian Alvarez (5/10):
Another big game which he struggled in, and he was eventually taken off for Bernardo.
Erling Haaland (4/10):
Definitely did not bring his shooting boots. Had 10 attempts but only tested Petrovic twice. Two of the chances he really should have buried.
Jeremy Doku (5/10):
Lively but also chaotic. This was one game where City missed the injured Grealish and the tactical intelligence he provides.

Bernardo Silva (7/10):
Brushed off his ankle knock in Copenhagen to help City push for the equaliser.
Pep Guardiola (6/10):
Was hamstrung by the midweek injury blows, but not starting Stones was a mistake. His one change rescued a point, but now his side have given some hope to Liverpool and Arsenal.
