LONDON (Reuters) - Chelsea inflicted the first Premier League defeat of the season on champions Manchester City as goals from N'Golo Kante and David Luiz earned the Londoners an unlikely 2-0 victory on Saturday.

Chelsea, who had lost two of their previous three Premier League games, were dominated by high-flying City until the 44th minute when Luiz beat the visitors' high-pressure tactics with a pinpoint 50-metre pass over the midfield to Pedro.
