City will have their eyes on Manchester United’s game against Aston Villa tomorrow, but they will only be confirmed champions if their rivals lose.
They don’t play again until Friday when they face Newcastle United. That win lifts Chelsea above Leicester City into third place and they have another big game in midweek as they host Arsenal.
Alonso’s late goal seals a 2-1 win for Chelsea over Manchester City. The hosts took the lead in the first half when Sterling fired past Mendy, but Aguero’s fluffed Panenka penalty was saved by the keeper just before the break.
Ziyech pulled Chelsea level with his low shot into the bottom corner and the visitors also had three goals ruled out for offside – two for Werner and another for Hudson-Odoi.
Alonso won it in stoppage time though when he drilled his effort over Ederson.
