The £32.5m man Robinho paid off the first instalment of his British record price-tag by marked his Manchester City debut with a goal but Chelsea came from behind to win 3-1 in an eventful game at Eastlands last Saturday which also saw John Terry sent off.
Luiz Felipe Scolari's side continued to carve out the better chances in an open encounter and took a 2-1 lead in the 53rd minute through Frank Lampard. Nicolas Anelka rounded off a neat move after 69 minutes to extend Chelsea's advantage, and City could not fight back even after Terry was shown a straight red card for a foul on Jo.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, Chelsea captain John Terry has won an appeal against the red card he picked up at Manchester City.
Terry was dismissed at Eastlands on Saturday after bringing down City striker Jo as the Brazilian threatened in the 77th minute. Referee Mark Halsey deemed it a professional foul and showed Terry the red card, but Chelsea protested, and submitted a claim for wrongful dismissal.
Jo still had a long way to go to goal when the foul came in from Terry, whose fellow defender Ricardo Carvalho was in close attendance.
An independent regulatory commission heard the appeal on Tuesday and the Football Association revealed they upheld Chelsea's claim, meaning England captain Terry must no longer serve a three-match ban. He is now free to face Manchester United in the Barclays Premier League on Sunday.
