City drop points in chase of Arsenal, Liverpool and United also draw

LONDON: Chelsea handed London rivals 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 them 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 end a packed festive program with a six-point lead.
