Given saves the day for Manchester City

Manchester City 2
(Adebayor 37,Tevez 56)

Chelsea 1
(Adebayor 7 (og)



Manchester City goalkeeper Shay given saved a late penalty from Frank lampard as Manchester City beat Premier League leaders Chelsea 2-1 at Eastlands.

Chelsea took an early lead after Adebayor put through his own net but the City striker made amends with a 37th min strike to make it 1-1. A Carlos Tevez freekick gave City the lead after the break, but when nedum onuoha hacked down Didier Drogba in the penalty area it looked like Chelsea would take a share of the spoils. However Given saved lampard's 83rd minute spot kick as City ended a run of seven consecutive draws.
