Manchester City lost more ground on Premier League leaders Arsenal after Enzo Fernandez rescued a late 1-1 draw for managerless Chelsea at a snowy Etihad Stadium.
A somewhat subdued City performance was brought to life by Tijjani Reijnders in the first half, scoring his sixth league goal of the season by lashing an emphatic finish into the roof of the net, with City on course to move back within four points of the Gunners.
But there was a stoppage-time twist, and it concerned the tenacious away side, who had already spurned decent opportunities via Pedro Neto and Liam Delap. Deep into added time, Malo Gusto pulled wide and charged towards a crossing position, with the ball eventually rippling to Fernandez, who beat Gianluigi Donnarumma at the third time of asking.

GOAL
Tiijani Reijnders smashes Manchester City ahead against Chelsea
Man City do move back above Aston Villa into second but are now six points adrift of Arsenal after back-to-back draws, only managing to score once from a combined xG of 3.23.
Chelsea, meanwhile, with only one win in their last eight, stay in touch of the top four with a helpful point - perhaps something for any incoming new manager, heavily rumoured to be Strasbourg boss Liam Rosenior, to build on.
More to follow.
