"As the half wore on, City began to apply sustained pressure. Erling Haaland struck the inside of the post after being released by Rodri, before forcing a sharp save from Jorgensen moments later following a deflected effort from the edge of the box. The breakthrough arrived in the 42nd minute. Rayan Cherki combined with Rodri in midfield before threading a pass towards Haaland, which was deflected into the path of Reijnders."
"Pep Guardiola's side appeared on course for another home win in the Premier League after controlling large spells of the contest, but Chelsea's late pressure was eventually rewarded with an equaliser in the eighth minute of added time. Chelsea made changes at the break and showed greater urgency after the restart, improving their possession share and beginning to find space higher up the pitch. Neto went close early on, lifting a close-range effort over the bar after neat work from Fernandez and Palmer on the counter."
Manchester City and Chelsea drew 1-1 at the Etihad after Enzo Fernandez equalised deep in stoppage time, cancelling Tijjani Reijnders' first-half goal. City controlled large spells with heavy possession and sustained pressure, producing chances from Phil Foden and Erling Haaland, including a post and a sharp save. Reijnders scored in the 42nd minute after a sequence involving Rayan Cherki, Rodri and a deflection. Chelsea improved after half-time, made tactical changes, increased possession and created late pressure that culminated in Fernandez's eighth-minute added-time finish to earn a point. Neto and Estevao had early opportunities for Chelsea while City threatened through Foden and Haaland.
