Injury-time Fernandez goal gives Chelsea 1-1 draw with Man City

  • On Jan 4, 2026, Enzo Fernandez scored a stoppage-time equaliser to salvage a 1-1 draw at Manchester City after Malo Gusto's cross deflected into his path at Etihad Stadium.
  • Tijjani Reijnders put Manchester City ahead three minutes before half-time with a powerful strike as Chelsea, effectively managerless, were led by caretaker Calum McFarlane on Thursday.
  • Erling Haaland and Phil Foden missed clear chances as City dominated, while Enzo Fernandez mis-hit his first shot, had a second saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma, then scored on the rebound.
  • The draw leaves Manchester City second and level with Aston Villa while they remain six points behind leaders Arsenal; Chelsea remain fifth in the table after slipping in recent form.
  • Injury setbacks leave City vulnerable for upcoming fixtures as Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias exited injured, weakening their defence and allowing Arsenal to close the gap in the Premier League title race.
