CARLOS TEVEZ'S free-kick winner re-ignited the title race as Frank Lampard's late penalty miss cost Chelsea dearly.
Second-placed Manchester United are just two points behind Chelsea after their neighbours City edged a fast, furious and controversial clash against the leaders.
Emmanuel Adebayor followed up his bizarre own goal opener on eight minutes by tapping City level.
Then Tevez fired a 20-yard deadball past badly-positioned keeper Petr Cech in the 56th minute.
Carlo Ancelotti's visitors, already wound up by several of referee Howard Webb's decisions, only managed to pour forward in the closing stages.
And, after Didier Drogba was tripped by Nedum Onuoha, Lampard delayed his spot-kick run-up twice before seeing Shay Given save the tame low penalty.
Drogba then finished meekly after breaking clear.
And, for all Chelsea's desperate raids, it was Tevez who came closest at the death, wriggling clear on the left to force Cech into a near-post block.
City, though, were just about worth a victory that leaves them just one point off the top four.
Given reacted sharply to turn away Drogba's angled drive in the opening exchanges but City were matching their visitors by the time they fell behind.
Chelsea pair Drogba and Branislav Ivanovic were left poorly marked as Given scrambled out a harshly-awarded corner.
And the Ireland keeper even thwarted Nicolas Anelka's rebound effort, only for the ball to shoot upwards, hit Adebayor on the back and bobble in.
City's response was rousing, though too many of their set-pieces went straight to Cech.
The Chelsea's keeper only mistake was to miss Shaun Wright-Phillips' cross. But luckily for him Ricardo Carvalho had darted back to head clear superbly.
City kept up their offensive and when Wright-Phillips drove another shot into the Chelsea box it ultimately brought their equaliser.
John Terry, who was linked so heavily with a move to Eastlands last summer, was so upset by it that hew as still complaining to ref Webb at half-time seven minutes later, insisting that Richards handled Wright-Phillips' shot.

It was difficult to see what the England Under-21 full-back could have done to get out of the way, though.
The ball deflected into Adebayor's path and did so again when it bounced back off the England skipper. At the second time of asking Adebayor made up for his earlier misfortune.
If Drogba's free-kick in the final minute of the half had been one inch inside Given's left-hand post rather than just outside it, City might have had problems responding.
As it was, they kept the impetus when the sides returned and got their noses in front - again with a touch of controversy.
Carvalho had a point when he claimed he had been looking at the ball as he went for an aerial challenge with Tevez. But he also kept a leg in the air long enough to plant it into the Argentina star's back.
Tevez added insult to the resulting yellow card, though, by planting a low free-kick just wide of the Chelsea wall.
The loss of Richards and Wayne Bridge to injury hardly assisted City in their efforts to cling on for a win, but Juliano Belletti's studs-first challenge that led to Bridge being carried off could easily have left Chelsea with 10 men.
That bad-tempered tackle led to a few more. At one point Ashley Cole and Deco were booked for offences in the same passage of play.
Prior to that though, Given had emerged the hero when he turned away an admittedly poor Lampard penalty after Onuoha had upended Drogba.
There was still time for Terry to limp off and Drogba to waste a glorious chance.
But City's fighting spirit kept out the title favourites.
