Conte makes history as the first manager to do the league double over Guardiola

Antonio Conte became the first manager to do the league double over Pep Guardiola by guiding his Chelsea side to a 2-1 win over Manchester City.

Two goals from Eden Hazard handed Chelsea all three points to send them ten points clear at the top of the Premier League table.

The win also means Chelsea have completed the league double over Chelsea after winning the previous encounter at the Etihad.

Guardiola has never been beaten twice by the same side or manager in a league season as Conte made a little slice of history.

Conte has been a revelation at Chelsea this season while Guardiola has failed to spark into life in his first campaign as City boss.

The victory ensures Chelsea take another massive step towards the title with Conte well on his way to winning the league in his first season.

Guardiola, on the other hand, has steered his side to fourth in the table with Arsenal and Manchester United breathing down their necks for the final Champions League spot.
