Enzo Fernandez was a hot topic for discussion with the Chelsea fanbase after his performance in the weekend’s league victory at home to Brighton.
Chelsea extended their winning run on Saturday afternoon by beating Brighton 4-2 in the Premier League.
There’s no doubt that Cole Palmer was the man of the moment after scoring all four goals for the hosts at Stamford Bridge. Alan Shearer hailed “special” attacker Palmer after his latest masterclass in Chelsea colours.
Blues head coach Enzo Maresca is definitely building something during his first season with the club because they’re temporarily up to third in the league table with 13 points from six games. Interestingly, they’ve scored a league-high tally of 15 goals.
