Mike Norman is a happy chappy at the shake up for the title that Chelsea's come-from-behind win over Manchester has created.

Chelsea's gutsy 2-1 win over league leaders Manchester City has blown the Premier League title race wide open.

The Blues couldn't have wished for a worse start, falling behind after just 90 seconds to a Mario Balotelli goal. The Italian was matched at [8.2] in the First Goalscorer market and has now scored in the last eight consecutive games in which he has started.

City looked to be in full control early on and should have been awarded a penalty when David Silva was brought down by Jose Bosingwa, but referee Mark Clattenburg waved play on.

Chelsea drew level in just after half an hour thanks to Raul Meireles sweeping home Daniel Sturridge's cross, and from that moment on the home side always looked in control.

Gael Clichy was dismissed in the second half for two bookable offences but Chelsea didn't really threaten until they were awarded a penalty with 10 minutes to go. Frank Lampard, a second half substitute, stepped up and blasted the ball home. The 2-1 Correct Score was matched at [12.0] In-Play.

The results means that City's lead at the top of the table is just two points, and the blue side of Manchester are now available to back at [1.9] in the Premier League Winner market. Man United can be backed at [3.4], with Chelsea - now just seven points adrift - available to back at [9.6].
