Manchester City 1-1 Chelsea — result

Chelsea equalised in stoppage time to rescue a 1-1 draw against Manchester City in the Premier League.

Tijjani Reijnders got the opening goal, smashing past Filip Jorgensen on his left foot at the end of a first half that the hosts had dominated.

Chelsea left it late but they found a dramatic late equaliser, Enzo Fernandez poking in from a yard out in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time.

It leaves City six points back from league leaders Arsenal, who beat Bournemouth 3-2 yesterday.
