""We had to accept what we were on earlier on in the week and put it behind us. We came here with a gameplan. In the first half, we made a slight error for their goal. But we grew into the game in the second half and we knew a chance would come and Enzo took the chance when it came. Credit to the staff that stepped up.""
""We had to adapt fast. We came out in the second half with a slightly different plan and as the game went on, we grew more into it. We have to stand together as a unit. We are one. We missed many players today, but so many other players stepped up. We fought as a team and I am proud of the boys.""
Chelsea earned a 1-1 draw at Manchester City's Etihad Stadium thanks to Enzo Fernandez's stoppage-time equaliser at 93:14. Tijjani Reijnders scored earlier after a first-half error by Chelsea. Calum McFarlane served as interim head coach following Enzo Maresca's unexpected departure, with staff stepping into unfamiliar roles. Team unity, tactical adaptation at half-time, and contributions from squad members covering absences defined the performance. Chelsea created the late opportunity and recovered a point in a difficult away fixture. Strasbourg boss Liam Rosenior has been linked to the vacancy, while the squad focuses on recovery and upcoming developments.
