Chelsea handed London rival Arsenal a welcome boost in the Premier League title race as Enzo Fernandez struck a stoppage-time equalizer that prevented Manchester City closing the gap at the top to four points on Sunday.
City led through a Tijjani Reijnders goal in the first half and it looked like being enough for it to cut into Arsenal¡¯s lead at the summit, but Fernandez pounced to give Chelsea a worthy 1-1 draw, three days after the club sacked coach Enzo Maresca.
Fernandez¡¯s goal at a freezing Etihad Stadium means Arsenal ends a packed festive ?programme with a six-point lead. It has 48 points from 20 games with City and Aston Villa on 42.
