Enzo Fernandez and Noni Madueke moment really summed up Chelsea’s fiery London derby vs Arsenal

It looks as though Enzo Fernandez has found another former Chelsea player to rile up, Noni Madueke.

Fernandez has often clashed with Mason Mount following his move from Chelsea to Manchester United in 2023, despite the two once being teammates at Stamford Bridge.

In Chelsea’s 1-1 draw with Arsenal over the weekend, Fernandez and Madueke did not come to blows.

However, that easily could have happened after one moment involving the two players in the second half.

Enzo Fernandez celebrates in Noni Madueke’s face after tackling him

After a challenge on Madueke following his introduction to the game, Fernandez celebrated in his former teammate’s face as he fell to the ground.

The encounter between the two was spotted by The Athletic’s Simon Johnson, who posted about it on the social media platform X.

Fernandez did not have his best game against Arsenal, but he was not helped by Moises Caicedo’s dismissal in the first half.

The Ecuadorian is now set to miss Chelsea’s next three Premier League fixtures against Leeds United, Bournemouth and Everton.

His sending off and Fernandez’s passion really summarised Sunday’s game. It was a really fiery London derby, which saw a total of eight cards shown.

Why Noni Madueke will be disappointed with Stamford Bridge return

Like Fernandez, Madueke also failed to make much of an impact in the derby, though he has no excuses, given Arsenal’s one-man advantage.

Madueke played just over 30 minutes, but the winger was not able to register a single shot or complete one dribble.

Madueke did not receive the greatest reception from Chelsea supporters either, which seemed a little harsh.

The 23-year-old helped the Blues to win the Conference League last season and probably would have stayed at the club had Estevao Willian not joined.

Whatever the case, Chelsea fans were not happy to see Madueke, who has certainly had better games at Stamford Bridge after spending two and a half years there.
