The Digest:

A stoppage-time equaliser from Enzo Fernández earned a spirited, managerless Chelsea a 1-1 draw at Manchester City, dealing a severe blow to the hosts' title ambitions and leaving them six points adrift of leaders Arsenal in a dramatic Premier League showdown.

Key Points:
  • Enzo Fernández scored in the 94th minute to snatch a point for caretaker-led Chelsea.
  • Manchester City had taken a deserved lead through Tijjani Reijnders just before half-time.
  • City lost key defenders Josko Gvardiol and Rúben Dias to injuries during the second half.
  • The result leaves City second on goal difference, six points behind leaders Arsenal.
  • Chelsea, under U-21 coach Calum McFarlane, showed resilience after sacking Enzo Maresca.
  • City dominated chances, with Erling Haaland hitting the post, but failed to kill the game.
  • The draw extends Chelsea's poor run to just one win in their last eight league matches.
