Full-time: Manchester City 1 Chelsea 3
An absolutely crazy end as the players clash but there is a handshake between Guardiola and Conte on the final whistle. A very entertaining game as we all hoped for and a real statement of a result for Chelsea, who remain firmly top of the Premier League.
They trailed to Gary Cahill's own goal just before half-time but roared back thanks to goals from Diego Costa, Willian and Eden Hazard. A very important win for Chelsea.
That is Chelsea's eighth league win in a row and puts them four points clear of Liverpool in second and City in third. Liverpool can trim the gap again against Bournemouth tomorrow.
Alexis Sanchez fired Arsenal up to second with a stunning hat-trick in a thumping 5-1 victory at West Ham.
The Chilean striker made it five goals in his last two appearances to keep Arsene Wenger's side hot on the tail of Premier League leaders Chelsea.
Sanchez also unselfishly set up the first-half opener for Mesut Ozil before striking three times after the break.
Andy Carroll grabbed a consolation upon his return from injury but the struggling Hammers promptly conceded a fourth to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain before Sanchez wrapped up a commanding win.
Chelsea staged an impressive fightback to claim a 3-1 win over title rivals Manchester City that ended with a bench-clearing melee and two red cards.
Sergio Aguero was sent off in injury-time for a nasty challenge on David Luiz and Fernandinho also saw red in the scuffle that followed as City lost their cool after a potentially damaging defeat.
City dominated the first hour, but had only a Gary Cahill own goal to show for it before quickfire strikes from Diego Costa and impressive substitute Willian transformed the game.
Eden Hazard wrapped up the Premier League leaders' eighth successive win in the last minute before controversy erupted.
Aguero and Luiz had clashed earlier in the game, with the Brazilian perhaps lucky to escape punishment for bringing down the City striker as he looked set to race in on goal.
City will be left to wonder how they failed to win a game they so clearly had control of, but questions will now be asked of their discipline after a result that leaves them four points behind the Londoners.
At the other end of the table, Crystal Palace eased their growing worries as a 3-0 victory at home to Southampton ended a six-match losing streak.
Palace benefited from a comic opening goal as Fraser Forster, in front of new England manager Gareth Southgate, miskicked Jose Fonte's backpass to present Benteke with an absolute gift on his 26th birthday.
James Tomkins doubled their lead when he fired home from Andros Townsend's cross in the 36th minute and Benteke scored his second five minutes from time.
Sunderland registered only their third win of the season to move off the bottom of the table after a 2-1 victory at home to Leicester.
The Black Cats went ahead thanks to Robert Huth's 64th-minute own goal after the Leicester defender diverted Jan Kirchhoff's header into the net and Jermain Defoe's instinctive strike, his eighth goal of the season, doubled their advantage.
Shinji Okazaki's 80th-minute goal created a nervy finish for the home side, but they managed to hold on.
Swansea replaced the Black Cats at the foot of the Premier League table after a 5-0 humbling at Tottenham, where a Harry Kane double took his tally to eight goals in as many appearances.
