Manchester City were left in disbelief after conceding a dramatic late equaliser against Chelsea, surrendering a victory that looked firmly within their grasp. In a finely balanced contest, the decisive moment arrived deep into stoppage time.

For much of the night, City appeared to be grinding out a priceless three points, leading by a narrow margin in a match where chances were hard-earned and margins razor-thin. Given their current position in the table, those points would have been invaluable.

In the dying seconds, chaos erupted inside the penalty area. After two desperate saves, Donnarumma could do nothing about the third attempt, as Enzo Fernández reacted quickest to force the ball over the line and snatch a dramatic equaliser.
