Yaya Toure and Carlos Tevez scored classy second-half goals as Manchester City kept alive its slim Premier League title hopes with a 2-0 victory over Chelsea on Sunday.
Goalkeeper Joe Hart also played a part in City's crucial win by saving a penalty from Frank Lampard in the 52nd minute, denying the England midfielder a 200th goal for Chelsea.
Eleven minutes later, Toure delivered a composed finish after dribbling inside the area and Tevez sealed victory by smashing in a finish from 25 yards in the 85th, ending City's three-match winless run in the league.
The result kept City 12 points behind Manchester United and moved the defending champions seven points clear of third-place Chelsea, giving renewed hope to Tottenham and Arsenal in the race for the Champions League spots.
