City, who were hoping to secure the league title for the third consecutive season in a row, are a whopping 23 points behind Liverpool in the table.
Christian Pulisic opened the scoring in the first half for Chelsea before Kevin De Bruyne pulled one back in the second half with a sensational free-kick.
However, City would be reduced to 10 men late into the second half after Fernandinho scraped the ball off the line with his hand.
Willian stepped up and converted the subsequent penalty as Chelsea sealed all three points at Stamford Bridge.
