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.

- 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.
