**Manchester, England** – Manchester City overcame a shaky start and a disastrous debut from new signing, Khusanov, to defeat Chelsea 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium. While City manager Pep Guardiola gave starts to three January signings, it was Khusanov who provided the early drama. His error in the opening minutes, a mishandled clearance leading to a goal for Nicolas Jackson, put Chelsea ahead. The Uzbekistan international’s difficult day continued with a booking for a foul.

However, City rallied, equalizing before halftime thanks to Josko Gvardiol’s rebound goal. Erling Haaland then took center stage, scoring a superb curler after a through ball from Ederson and subsequently assisting Phil Foden for City’s third. Haaland’s brace secured the victory for the home side, overshadowing Khusanov’s difficult introduction to the Premier League. The match showcased City’s attacking prowess, ultimately overcoming a defensive lapse to claim three crucial points.
