JUST-IN: Man City denied EPL title celebration as Chelsea grab late win

Raheem Sterling scored a minute before half time, only for Sergio Aguero to miss a penalty in stoppage time with an outrageous chipped effort that backfired horribly.

Hakim Ziyech levelled midway through the second half to capitalise on Aguero’s miss and deny Pep Guardiola’s side the three points they needed for the title.
