There were 32 shots between both teams in this match, Chelsea 17 and Man City 15, with 19 of them being on target. 

It was only the fifth match in Premier League history to see as many as four equalising goals scored, after Everton v Leeds in October 1999, Charlton v West Ham in November 2001, Spurs v Reading in December 2007, and Liverpool v Arsenal in April 2009.

It was the first time Chelsea both scored and conceded four or more goals in a league match since March 2008 v Spurs, the first time Man City did so since January 1961 v Arsenal, and the first time the pair did so against one another in the league since December 1956, when Man City won 5-4.

In his 882nd match as a manager across all competitions, this was the first time Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola saw his side both score and concede four or more goals in the same match.

Raheem Sterling and Cole Palmer were the eighth and ninth different players to score in the Premier League against Man City after having previously played for them in the competition, after Niall Quinn, Steve Lomas, Garry Flitcroft, Geovanni, Daniel Sturridge, Álvaro Negredo, and Kelechi Iheanacho.

Cole Palmer’s goal, timed at 94:24, was the latest penalty scored by Chelsea in the Premier League since November 2013 against West Brom, when Eden Hazard scored at 95:18, and the latest on record to be scored from the spot against Man City in the competition.
