Wayne Bridge got his revenge on John Terry as Manchester City dented nine-man Chelsea’s title challenge with a stunning 4-2 win at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

After snubbing Terry’s offer of a handshake during the pre-match greeting between the teams, Bridge – who this week quit England duty as a result of Terry’s alleged affair with his ex-girlfriend Vanessa Perroncel – played his part as City handed Chelsea their first home defeat in 38 games.

Frank Lampard put the Premier League leaders ahead in the 42nd minute but Carlos Tevez equalised in first half stoppage-time following mistakes from Terry and goalkeeper Hilario.

Craig Bellamy struck for the visitors in the 51st minute with a shot from a tight angle that Hilario should have saved.

Tevez scored his second from the penalty spot after Juliano Belletti was sent off for fouling Gareth Barry in the 76th minute, then Michael Ballack was dismissed in the closing stages.

Bellamy rubbed salt into Chelsea’s wounds with the fourth in the 87th minute before Lampard’s 90th minute penalty reduced the deficit.

Chelsea remain just one point ahead of Manchester United, while City go above Tottenham into fourth place.

City manager Roberto Mancini said: “Wayne Bridge has been playing well and this team has a fantastic spirit and for this reason we won this game.”

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti added: “It was not a good day. The only good thing is that we still have one point more than Manchester United.

“We have more chance to win the title than either them or Arsenal because that is what the table says.”

And Bellamy made his feelings about Terry clear after the match.

Bellamy told Sky Sports: “You guys (the media) make a lot more of it you know. I know what JT is like and nothing surprises me about it, so I’m not going to comment on that. I think everybody in football knows what the guy is like, but that’s off the field,” he said.

Beleaguered Portsmouth finally had something to celebrate as the Premier League’s bottom club claimed a 2-1 win over fellow strugglers Burnley at Turf Moor.

Avram Grant’s team have been hit with a nine-point penalty after becoming the first Premier League club to go into administration on Friday, meaning this result is unlikely to save them from relegation.

But Portsmouth haven’t thrown the towel in yet. They took the lead in the 25th minute when Frederic Piquionne slotted home Danny Webber’s pass.

The hosts were level six minutes later as Martin Paterson produced a sublime chip over Portsmouth goalkeeper David James.

Jamie O’Hara had a chance to restore Portsmouth’s lead when Clarke Carlisle gave away a second half penalty by fouling Piquionne, but Brian Jensen saved the midfielder’s spot-kick.

However, Carlisle conceded another penalty in the 76th minute with a foul on John Utaka and Hassan Yebda made him pay with a cool finish.

In stoppage time, Ricardo Rocha was sent off for Burnley, who have now lost seven of their last eight games.

Bolton moved out of the relegation zone as Zat Knight’s first goal for the club sealed a 1-0 victory against Wolves at the Reebok Stadium.

Owen Coyle’s side scored for the first time in six matches when South Korea midfielder Lee Chung-Yong’s 45th minute cross was finished off by former Aston Villa defender Knight.

Birmingham’s bid for a Europa League place was boosted with a 1-0 win over relegation-threatened Wigan at St Andrews.

Alex McLeish’s team were in front in first half stoppage-time as Scotland forward James McFadden struck from the penalty spot after referee Anthony Taylor ruled Mario Melchiot had tripped Keith Fahey.
