Chelsea face Leicester City at King Power Stadium. The Blues secured a 2-1 victory to secure the 2nd place in Premier League. One player who was absolutely unstoppable was Enzo Fernandez who was then voted player of the match.
How good was Enzo Fernandez foe Chelsea against Leicester?
The Argentine started the game alongside Caicedo by replacing Romeo Lavia. He played the full game and was directly involved in both goals scored by Chelsea.
Firstly, Fernandez provided an assist to Jackson who opened the scoring in 15th minute. Later in 75th minute, the Argentine scored himself to double the lead.
Enzo completed 47 passes with 84% accuracy. He created 3 chances along with 1 big chance. The Argentine also had 3 total shots out of which 1 was on target whereas 1 was blocked.
Enzo then had 79 touches out of which 5 came in opposition box. He had 6 passes in the final third along with 1 accurate criss and 2 accurate long balls.
Lastly, Enzo also proved himself defensively. He made 2 tackles, 2 clearances, 1 interception and 5 recoveries. He was able to win 7 out of 9 duels with 78% success rate. All stats are as per FOTMOB.
Now the questions is will Fernandez be able to change Chelsea’s plans of selling him. He has surely shown his worth today but he will need to do this regularly to secure his place.
Enzo Maresca will be in a lot of pressure now. He will need to play both Lavia and Fernandez regularly and try and keep both the players happy. It will be interesting to see how the Italian manages the squad depth in coming months.
