Video: All the goals as Man City come back from 3-0 down to beat Chelsea 4-3

As post-season friendlies in America go, this one was a cracker.

As post-season friendlies in America go, this one was a cracker.

We’re sure most of the players, and backroom staff, didn’t really want to be in St Louis last night. The footballers would have wanted their holidays, Brian Kidd was forced into an extended bit of caretaking and as for Rafa Benitez, well, we guess he wants out ASAP.

So fair play to the two sides who put on a great show for the 48,000 fans who turned up to watch the game last night. Chelsea raced into a 3-0 lead thanks to Demba Ba, a Cesar Azpilicueta penalty and Oscar but Manchester City showed great fight to battle all the way back in the second half, stealing the win in injury time via Micah Richards.

Once again, Juan Mata was excellent for Chelsea while Edin Dzeko finished both his goals in some style.
