Enzo Fernández scored a stoppage-time equalizer as managerless Chelsea snatched a 1-1 draw at title-chasing Manchester City. As Chelsea began showing more urgency in stoppage time, Malo Gusto drove the ball into the box and Fernandez pounced despite initially being denied by Donnarumma. That prompted City to lift the tempo, and Phil Foden showed nice footwork in the area before dragging an effort wide. Chelsea almost tied it after the break, but Pedro Neto spurned the chance after good work by Fernandez and Cole Palmer. Haaland ran at the Chelsea defense before having a shot blocked by Badiashile, and former City striker Liam Delap forced a save from Gianluigi Donnarumma at the other end.
