CAL'S BIG CALL COULD TILT TITLE

HOPEFULLY, Calum McFarlane will enjoy a successful career in coaching and, possibly, management.

But if he never steps into any sort of limelight again, at least he could well have one small claim to fame.

The interim Chelsea boss - and that is very interim, considering Liam Rosenior is about to pick up the poisoned chalice - will be able to say he masterminded an unlikely fightback that put Arsenal in the driving seat in the Premier League title race.

It might have been verging on the blindingly obvious to send on Liam Delap, formerly of City, when Chelsea needed a goal with half an hour to go, but it changed the mood of the occasion.

Delap got City, who lost both centre-halves to injury during proceedings, well and truly rattled.

And while he did not score the equaliser deep into added time - that was accomplished by Enzo Fernandez after a half-save from Gianluigi Donnarumma - Delap was on the premises and causing consternation in home ranks.
