Chelsea Stuns Man City With Last-Gasp Equalizer
4 Jan
Summary
- Enzo Fernandez scored in the 94th minute to deny Manchester City a win.
- Tijjani Reijnders opened the scoring for Chelsea before halftime.
- The draw sees Manchester City fall six points behind Arsenal.
Enzo Fernandez scored a dramatic stoppage-time equalizer in the 94th minute, snatching a vital point for managerless Chelsea against Manchester City. The goal canceled out Tijjani Reijnders' opener, which came just before halftime. This result is a significant setback for Pep Guardiola's Manchester City in their pursuit of the Premier League title.
The draw means Manchester City will finish the weekend six points adrift of leaders Arsenal. Chelsea, currently in fifth place, displayed remarkable resilience under caretaker manager Calum McFarlane, who took charge following Enzo Maresca's departure just days prior. The team's performance defied expectations against a strong City outfit.
Manchester City's inability to maintain their dominance, particularly in the second half, proved costly. This marks their second consecutive draw, raising concerns about the sustainability of their title challenge. Meanwhile, Chelsea's unexpected draw, achieved with a depleted squad, provides a significant morale boost for the club and its new interim leadership.
