The defending champions tumbled to third place after beginning the day two points behind Liverpool.
In order to put pressure on City, Liverpool defeated Brentford 4-1 earlier on Saturday. Arsenal also triumphed 5-0 against Burnley.
In the end, City had to settle for their fourth season-long draw after failing to secure the three points.
In the 42nd minute, Raheem Sterling returned to torment his former team, breaking the tie with a neat finish into the bottom corner after a quick counterattack by Chelsea.
The former City player had a chance to score again early in the second half, but Ederson stopped his close-range shot.
Pep Guardiola’s team continued to press for an answer, and with time running down, Erling Haaland missed a clear opportunity.
In the 83rd minute, Rodri’s hard drive deflected off Trevoh Chalobah and into the net, giving City their much-needed level.
After that, there was a dispute over Colwill handling the ball during added time; nevertheless, VAR insisted that it was an accident.
Chelsea held on for a vital point despite the dispute as City was unable to generate another opportunity.
Although Guardiola and company already trail leaders Liverpool by four points, they still have a game against Brentford on Tuesday.
