"Sunday's Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium came just three days after Chelsea parted company with Maresca in a shock move. While Liam Rosenior is reportedly a frontrunner to take charge, Calum McFarlane was tasked with overseeing the trip to face City, who were aiming to close the gap on leaders Arsenal. Instead, City are now six points back from the Gunners after Fernandez bundled home in the 94th minute."
"Pep Guardiola's team had taken the lead in the 42nd minute via Tijjani Reijnders, who thundered in a brutal left-footed finish. Erling Haaland had earlier hit the woodwork, but despite creating plenty of promising openings after the interval, City could not make those moments count. They were punished when a second-string defence, rocked by an injury to Josko Gvardiol, failed to clear Malo Gusto's cross, with Fernandez on hand to finish at the second attempt."
Enzo Fernández scored a 94th-minute equaliser to secure a 1-1 draw for Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium. Chelsea had parted company with manager Enzo Maresca three days earlier, leaving Calum McFarlane in charge for the trip while Liam Rosenior is reportedly a frontrunner for the role. Tijjani Reijnders put Manchester City ahead in the 42nd minute and Erling Haaland struck the woodwork. An injury to Josko Gvardiol unsettled City's defence and Malo Gusto's cross created the chance that Fernández finished. Chelsea recorded 1.73 xG from eight attempts; City had 0.99 xG from 14 shots.
