Mahrez had scored City's winning goal in a 1-0 Premier League victory at Stamford Bridge just three days earlier.

The Algerian winger was also on target against Chelsea in November when another fine free-kick helped City win 2-0 in the EFL Cup. 

Mahrez's goal on Sunday arrived in the 23rd minute.

It was swiftly followed by two more in the first half as a Julian Alvarez penalty and a Phil Foden tap-in put City in total control.

Mahrez made it 4-0 late on by converting the second penalty kick of the game.
