What’s up, Enzo? Ex-Benfica man in free fall after Brighton v Chelsea | OneFootball

Chelsea suffered their fifth straight Premier League defeat last Tuesday, going down 3-0 away to Brighton. As a result of the loss, the London side dropped to seventh place in the league, the last spot that grants access to European competitions.

Turkish defender Ferdi Kadioglu opened the scoring as early as the third minute for the hosts, and despite a response from the “blues”, with former Benfica player Enzo Fernández in the starting lineup, it was Brighton who extended their lead, already in the second half (56), through Jack Hinshelwood.

Veteran striker Danny Welbeck wrapped up the scoring in the opening match of the 34th round, at 90+1 minutes, sealing Brighton’s win, their fourth victory in five games, in stark contrast to the London side, who lost for the fifth time in a row, again without managing to score.

. It is worth remembering that the former Benfica player was recently punished due to controversial remarks about a possible summer transfer.

This season, playing for Chelsea, Enzo Fernández – valued at 90 million euros – has already made a total of 48 official appearances: 32 in the Premier League, 10 in the Champions League, four in the English League Cup and two in the FA Cup. In the 3,839 minutes he has been on the pitch, the Argentine has recorded 12 goals and six assists.
