There were 32 shots between both teams in this match, Chelsea 17 and Man City 15, with 19 of them being on target. 

It was only the fifth match in Premier League history to see as many as four equalising goals scored, after Everton v Leeds in October 1999, Charlton v West Ham in November 2001, Spurs v Reading in December 2007, and Liverpool v Arsenal in April 2009.

It was the first time Chelsea both scored and conceded four or more goals in a league match since March 2008 v Spurs, the first time Man City did so since January 1961 v Arsenal, and the first time the pair did so against one another in the league since December 1956, when Man City won 5-4.

In his 882nd match as a manager across all competitions, this was the first time Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola saw his side both score and concede four or more goals in the same match.
