In pictures: Chelsea v Man City<\/h3>\n

Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher has issued a subtle dig at Chelsea owner Todd Boehly after claiming Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino doesn\u2019t have the same quality at his disposal as the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City. Chelsea were involved in an eight-goal Premier League thriller on Sunday afternoon as they drew 4-4 with Pep Guardiola\u2019s Citizens at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

Boehly has spent around \u00a31billion since buying Chelsea at the end of May 2022 and has brought in a whole host of star players. But Carragher insists the current Chelsea manager is lacking in some areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat Pochettino has done in big games is fantastic,\u201d the 45-year-old told Sky Sports. \u201cYou can almost see him as a manager going up against [Jurgen] Klopp, [Pep] Guardiola, Mikel Arteta and he hasn’t quite got the tools that they’ve got.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know they\u2019ve spent a lot of money – people will say that – but he hasn\u2019t. And when you look at the team on paper and the set-up it\u2019s still short of what the other top teams have got. But what they\u2019ve done in big games is a real feather in the cap.\u201d<\/p>\n

Erling Haaland opened the scoring for the visitors midway through the first half after sending Blues keeper Robert Sanchez the wrong way from the penalty spot. But the hosts hit back just before the half hour mark as Thiago Silva headed in Conor Gallagher\u2019s corner.<\/p>\n

Chelsea then took the lead eight minutes before the interval as Raheem Sterling netted against his former side. But Manuel Akanji levelled with a headed effort in stoppage time at the end of the opening period.<\/p>\n
