LONDON, April 12 (Reuters) - Manchester City revitalized their Premier League title chase on Sunday, dominating Chelsea with a 3-0 victory at Stamford Bridge. The win brings City within six points of league leaders Arsenal, setting the stage for an exciting clash between the two teams next weekend.

Second Half Surge

After a lackluster first half where Chelsea appeared to have the upper hand, Manchester City emerged with renewed energy in the second half. Pep Guardiola's side quickly capitalized on Chelsea's defensive vulnerabilities, scoring three goals in a span of just 17 minutes.

Nico O'Reilly initiated the scoring in the 51st minute, heading the ball into the net after a cross from Rayan Cherki, shrugging off Andrey Santos in the process. Just six minutes later, Cherki provided another assist, this time to former Chelsea defender Marc Guehi, who found the bottom corner to double the lead. Jeremy Doku capped off the impressive performance in the 68th minute, stealing the ball from Moises Caicedo and firing a shot past Chelsea's goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.

Looking Ahead

This victory marks Manchester City's first Premier League win since February, although they recently triumphed over Arsenal 2-0 at Wembley to claim the League Cup, with O'Reilly scoring both goals in that match. City also holds a game in hand, giving them a boost in confidence ahead of their upcoming match against Arsenal, who suffered a setback with a loss to Bournemouth on Saturday.

As for Chelsea, the defeat has significantly impacted their hopes for Champions League qualification, leaving them in sixth place, four points behind Liverpool in fifth. Doku acknowledged the challenge ahead, stating, "They will come with hunger... we have to go and take it. Trust me, we'll be well prepared."
