TACTICAL REVIEW: HOW ENZO FERNANDEZ STUNNED MANCHESTER CITY AMID CHELSEA’S COACHING CHAOS
Enzo Fernandez rescues Chelsea at the Etihad as interim boss Calum McFarlane defies the odds against Pep Guardiola’s Man City.
Calum McFarlane, suddenly in charge at Chelsea, gave credit to his players after they fought through a chaotic week and managed to grab a surprising draw at Manchester City.
Enzo Fernandez saved Chelsea with a stoppage-time equalizer, just weeks after the shock of manager Enzo Maresca leaving on New Year’s Day. That late goal dented City’s push for the title at the Etihad.
City looked like they’d done enough for the win after Tijjani Reijnders scored, which could have closed the gap to Arsenal at the top to four points. But Chelsea hung on, kept grinding, and walked away with a point—the game finished 1-1.
McFarlane, the club’s under-21 coach, found himself thrown into the spotlight as interim boss. It looks like he’ll step aside soon, with Liam Rosenior expected to take over before Chelsea’s trip to Fulham on Wednesday.
Rosenior, who’s been coaching at Strasbourg (Chelsea’s sister club), reportedly flew to London for an interview. Chelsea, as usual, kept quiet about the rumors.
McFarlane handled the pressure well, going up against Pep Guardiola—a man with a trophy cabinet most managers can only dream about. But McFarlane didn’t want the spotlight. He wanted the players to get their due.
“There’s been a lot of upheaval,” McFarlane said. “Enzo did really well with this group, so some of the guys were stunned when he left.
“The way they’ve all responded these last couple days, and again today—Reece, Tosin, and Enzo—they’ve pulled the team together.
“Honestly, everyone expected us to lose today. No one gave us a shot.
“But we always believed in the character and talent in this squad, and they proved it. I can’t say enough about this group.”
Some think McFarlane might be headed to Strasbourg if Rosenior comes to Chelsea, but he brushed that off.
“That’s news to me,” he said. “No one’s told me anything about that.
“When I took this on, all I knew was I’d be managing for the Manchester City game.
“Now, there’s a real chance the new manager’s in by Monday.”
The city’s result just adds to a rough week after their draw at Sunderland. They’re now six points behind Arsenal, and injuries are piling up. Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias both picked up knocks, joining John Stones on the sidelines.
Guardiola sounded frustrated. “We’re missing a lot of players. Stones has been out for who knows how long. Ruben’s now out, Josko too, and Nathan Ake can’t play every match.
“That’s the situation—just got to stay strong and find a way. The spirit’s still there.”
When someone asked if City might sign a new defender, Guardiola didn’t sound convinced. “I don’t think so, but who knows?”
For him, the real problem was City’s finishing.
“We did everything right—except score that second, third, or fourth goal,” he said. “In the second half, Chelsea had nothing to lose, and they got their reward right at the end.”
WHY WESLEY FOFANA BELIEVES FOOTBALL’S ANTI-RACISM CAMPAIGNS ARE FAILING IN 2026
Football faces a crisis. Discover why Wesley Fofana and Hannibal Mejbri are demanding action after a weekend of racist abuse.
Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana didn’t hold back after he and Burnley’s Hannibal Mejbri were hit with racist abuse following Saturday’s 1-1 draw. “Nothing changes,” he wrote. “People are never punished.” Both players shared screenshots of the nasty messages sent to them on Instagram, just hours after the match at Stamford Bridge.
This all happened only days after UEFA started looking into Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior’s claims that Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni racially abused him during a Champions League game in Lisbon. That match had to be stopped for ten minutes after Vinicius, clearly shaken, refused to play on. Prestianni tried to cover his mouth with his shirt during the incident, but the damage was already done.
Back to Saturday night, Fofana, who’d been sent off late in the game for two yellow cards, posted some of the abuse he received and didn’t mince words: “2026, it’s still the same thing. These people are never punished. You create big campaigns against racism, but nobody actually does anything.” Mejbri also shared the messages he got, adding, “It’s 2026, and there are still people like that. Educate yourself and your kids, please.”
Chelsea responded quickly, calling the abuse “completely unacceptable” and saying it goes against everything the club stands for. “There is no room for racism,” they said. “We stand unequivocally with Wes. He has our full support, as do all our players who are too often forced to endure this hatred simply for doing their job. We will work with the authorities and platforms to find the people responsible and take the strongest action.”
Burnley echoed the sentiment: “There is no place for this in our society, and we condemn it unreservedly.”
Football’s handling of racism has been under the microscope lately, especially after what happened in Lisbon. Benfica manager Jose Mourinho stirred things up further by accusing Vinicius of provoking the incident, while the Portuguese club claimed their player was the victim of a defamation campaign.
As for the game itself, Chelsea looked set for a win until Burnley’s Zian Flemming headed in a stoppage-time equaliser, right after Fofana’s red card left Chelsea down a man. Fofana was sent off in the 72nd minute for a late challenge on James Ward-Prowse. Earlier, Joao Pedro’s fourth-minute goal seemed to put Liam Rosenior’s side on track for victory, but like so many times this season, they couldn’t finish off Scott Parker’s struggling team. The match ended all square, but the bigger story was what happened off the pitch.
JAMIE O'HARA LABELS ROBERT SANCHEZ’S DECISION-MAKING "STUPID" IN 1-1 BURNLEY DRAW
Robert Sanchez under fire! Discover why Jamie O'Hara called the Chelsea keeper "non-league" after the 1-1 draw with Burnley.
Jamie O'Hara really let loose on Robert Sanchez after Chelsea’s frustrating 1-1 draw with Burnley on Saturday.
Chelsea got off to a flying start; Joao Pedro scored just four minutes in, and honestly, it felt like they’d cruise to an easy win at Stamford Bridge. But even with most of the ball, they just couldn’t turn that early goal into a comfortable lead. They dominated, but nothing clicked in the final third.
Things got worse in the 72nd minute when Wesley Fofana picked up a red card. Now he’s out for next week’s big clash with Arsenal. And with Estevao missing, Chelsea just seemed flat. They couldn’t close the game out, and sure enough, Burnley made them pay. Zian Flemming hit a late equaliser, huge for a team desperate to avoid relegation.
O’Hara didn’t hold back on Sanchez during his chat with Jason Cundy on GameDay Phone-In, calling the keeper’s performance "non-league". He was fuming about Sanchez’s decision-making late in the game.
Sanchez, instead of taking the sting out of the match, just lumped the ball forward to Joao Pedro, who was cramping up while Chelsea were barely holding on.
“How old is Sanchez?” O’Hara started. “He’s not some kid. He’s got plenty of experience.” Cundy tried to chime in, but O’Hara kept going: “It’s the 85th minute. The ball comes to him. Just go down, hang onto it.”
Cundy jumped in: “Catch it, go down, kill the clock. Instead, he boots it to Joao Pedro, who can barely run. What’s he supposed to do? He's outnumbered three to one!”
O’Hara added, “He’s done it twice. I’m sitting there thinking, ‘What is he doing?’ That’s not about being young. That’s just stupid!”
He continued, “You take the ball, go down, get the team up the pitch, then smash it into the corner. You waste two minutes, easy. But Chelsea? They just keep shooting themselves in the foot. It’s like watching non-league football sometimes.”
That draw pushed Chelsea above Manchester United into fourth, but United still have a game in hand. If they beat Everton on Monday, they’ll leapfrog Chelsea by three points. So, yeah, Chelsea’s slip-up could really haunt them.
