Calum McFarlane?s unexpected battle with Pep Guardiola brought back memories of the 2021 League Cup final, when Ryan Mason, Tottenham?s 29-year-old interim coach, faced the significant task of trying to outsmart one of the greatest managers in the game?s history. For Mason there was the added baggage of Spurs? 13-year trophy drought; for McFarlane, making his senior management debut, it was Chelsea?s astonishingly bad recent record against Manchester City. Four and a half years have passed since Chelsea last beat Guardiola?s side, when Thomas Tuchel?s team triumphed in the Champions League final, and a draw on Sunday took that winless run to 12 matches.
