Manchester 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.
But Chelsea scored three times without reply, with Ricardo Carvalho, Frank Lampard and Nicolas Anelka scoring one each, to register a seventh straight win over City even though England captain John Terry was sent off for a professional foul.
