After Enzo Maresca's departure, Calum McFarlane took charge of Chelsea for one game - Liam Rosenior's appointment is imminent - and masterminded a second-half comeback, with Enzo Fernandez scoring an equaliser in stoppage time.

To add to Guardiola's disappointment, the City boss saw his two starting centre-halves go off injured during a game his side led through Tijjani Reijnders’ strike in the first half.
