Chelsea faced off against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium earlier this evening as they looked to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Blues made a good start to the game but conceded the opening goal in the 42nd minute when Tijjani Reijnders got his name on the scoresheet. The West London club went into the half-time interval 1-0 down on the scoreline.
Enzo Fernandez ended up scoring the equaliser for Chelsea in injury time as the contest finished with the Blues earning a last-gasp 1-0 draw away from home.
