Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson was left stunned by what he saw from one of his teammates in last night’s huge win last night.
He took to Instagram to praise the performance of Enzo Fernandez after they picked up a big victory in the FA Cup.
The Blues beat Aston Villa 3-1 away from home in a game very few gave them a chance to win based on their recent form.
However, first half goals from Conor Gallagher and Jackson put them in a commanding position, and see them put one foot in the fifth round to face Leeds United.
In the second half though, Fernandez provided a true moment of quality when he fired a free-kick past his countryman Emi Martinez to give the Blues an unassailable three goal lead.
The strike was one of true brilliance, and the celebration which quickly followed was his way of making a statement to silence reports going round about him.
Jackson wowed by Fernandez
All in all, it was a superb performance from the World Cup winner, with Roy Keane praising him as well as the display of Moises Caicedo.
Another person who was impressed was Jackson, who took to social media to praise the performance he put in.
He said: “Oh my god what a pleasure brother.”
Chelsea fans will be hoping that this is the start of a turnaround at Stamford Bridge, with the performances in recent weeks putting a real downer on things.
Pressure had been high on Mauricio Pochettino leading into this game, with some supporters calling for him to not even be in charge for the game at Villa Park last night.
A run of good performances could see them in far better stead for when they take part in the EFL Cup final at the end of the month against Wembley.
