There's something about a dead rubber end-of-season game between two top teams that allows us to just sit back and enjoy the more predictable aspects of the game.

That's what happened at Stamford Bridge, where Manchester City and Chelsea

Jesus Navas was back to his usual tricks...

And Thibaut Courtois showed the home fans what might have been had he not picked up an injury early in the season.

Sergio Aguero scored, because that's what Sergio Aguero does.

And we got a chance to stare at Nicolas Otamendi's face again.

It was pretty entertaining, and some people thought they knew why.

Kevin de Bruyne helped with that, of course...

And there was a bit of nostalgia for fans of a long-forgotten City side.

If not for fans of a forgettable Chelsea line-up.

The second half brought more of the same, at least for one man.

And while many have enjoyed Chelsea's struggles this season, there's always someone who can find a downside.

After all, surely Cesc Fabregas can only improve come August.

Even if others might leave.

Courtois may stick around though, even if his day ended badly with a red card.

Aguero completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot.

But by full-time Chelsea fans already had their 'anyone but Tottenham' hats on when it came to their role in the title race.
