Chelsea Defeated Manchester City 3 - 1

RobinhoManchester City slipped to defeat against Chelsea despite a debut-day opener from record signing Robinho. Chelsea ensured it was not the dream start that Manchester City's new mega-rich owners from Abu Dhabi yearned for in their first match in charge of the Eastlands club.

The £32.5m man paid off the first instalment of his British record price-tag by putting Mark Hughes' men ahead with a superb 13th-minute free-kick.
