Franks Lampard scored to give 10 man City a point against Chelsea. Lampard refused to celebrate his goal against his former club but couldn't stop his City team mates from swarming around him.

Chelsea seemed happy to soak up all the pressure City could throw at them,but despite City's dominance their best efforts of the first half was a header from Toure and a half-volley from Aguero that flew over.

A promising start was lost as referee Mike Dean was card happy and showed six yellow cards which wa sure to change the game.

The crucial moment came midway through the second half when Zabaleta, who was booked earlier, went through Costa and was showed another card by Dean.

Almost immediately afterwards, Chelsea ripped through with Branislav Ivanovic, who scored the winner in at the Etihad here in February, popping up in midfield, Diego Costa working it right and Eden Hazard crossing to the far post for Schurrle to tap in.

But City were not finished. David Silva hooked a ball forward, Milner volleyed it back across goal and Lampard, who had drifted away from Ivanovic, prodded in at the near post.

He even went close to pinching a win for the 10 men but his old friend John Terry pulled off a sliding challenge to block a low shot.
