Chelsea surprised everyone over the weekend after holding Manchester City to a 1-1 draw.
After all the chaos following Enzo Maresca’s departure, most were expecting Chelsea to lose.
Calum McFarlane, who had not managed a first team before Sunday, has replaced Maresca temporarily and was the mastermind behind the Blues’ performance.

Besiktas make offer for Filip Jorgensen
Following a small injury that Robert Sanchez picked up, Filip Jorgensen made a rare start for Chelsea at the weekend.
It will now be interesting to see if the goalkeeper makes any more, with Sanchez expected to be back for Wednesday’s game against Fulham.
According to Turkish outlet Sabah, Besiktas have made an offer to sign Jorgensen on loan with an option to buy.

Last November, it was reported that Jorgensen is open to leaving Chelsea in a bid to gain more first-team football. However, a move to Besiktas will not be straightforward.
Sabah’s report claims that Chelsea want Jorgensen’s loan to run until the end of the season and for it to include a mandatory purchase clause. Right now, Besiktas are proposing to take the Denmark international on loan for a season and a half.
As well as the above, it is also thought that Maresca’s exit has complicated things.

Filip Jorgensen starred against Manchester City
Jorgensen has not always looked convincing in a Chelsea shirt, but he had a good game at the Etihad.
His distribution at times really caught the eye, with the former Villarreal man completing nine successful long balls, as per Sofascore.
With that in mind, Rosenior may want to take a closer look at Jorgensen before any decision is made on his future this month. After the season that he has had, though, you would expect Sanchez to remain the first-choice goalkeeper at Stamford Bridge.
