Jason Cundy praises “brilliant” Chelsea ace for what he did in Tottenham win, “he was eveywhere” | OneFootball

Jason Cundy was full of praise for Enzo Fernandez following Chelsea’s win against Tottenham on Thursday night at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues picked up a huge three points to move back into the top four, with Fernandez scoring the only goal of the game as he headed home Cole Palmer’s cross early in the second half.

The win was crucial given their rivals for Champions League qualification Manchester City and Newcastle both won on Wednesday night, and it gives them momentum heading into Sunday’s game at Brentford.

Cundy hails Fernandez performance

Chelsea were handed a much needed boost with Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer returning to the starting line-up, but there was bad news with Wesley Fofana missing out after picking up another injury.

Former Blue Cundy was impressed with what he saw from the 24-year-old and hailed his goal as a “brilliant” header.

“We know Enzo can do this,” Cundy said on Chelsea’s official app.

“He’s in there on his own. It’s a brilliant header. Enzo, I said the first half he was everywhere, he ghosts in.”

Fernandez has added goals to his game this season and the winner against Tottenham was his fifth Premier League goal of the season to go with his five assists.
