Man City and Chelsea both draw in Premier League after late goals

By Canadian Press on January 14, 2025.

Manchester City showed more fallibility in squandering a two-goal lead to draw at Brentford in the Premier League on Tuesday as Chelsea’s slump deepened despite a last-gasp equalizer.

City conceded in the 82nd minute and again two minutes into stoppage time in a 2-2 draw after Phil Foden scored twice for the struggling champions, who are battling to simply qualify for the Champions League this season.

Chelsea salvaged a 2-2 draw at home to Bournemouth thanks to Reece James’ free kick in the fifth minute of stoppage time but saw its winless run in the league extend to five games.

West Ham beat Fulham 3-2 for a first win under new manager Graham Potter.

First-place Liverpool was playing third-place Nottingham Forest in the late game.
