The Blues delivered a solid team performance, but it was midfielder Enzo Fernandez who stole the spotlight.

Former Chelsea star Joe Cole was full of praise for Fernandez’s commanding display, claiming the Argentine was simply untouchable.

Speaking to TNT Sports after the game, Cole highlighted the 23-year-old’s influence on the match, saying,

“He needed this game for himself, for his confidence and belief… He was brilliant today. He was getting it in all areas of the pitch.

He was probing. I thought the midfield of Leicester could not get near him.”

Returning to Chelsea’s starting XI for the first time in over a month, Fernandez delivered a performance to remember.

He provided a crucial assist for Nicolas Jackson’s opener, threading a perfectly weighted pass that allowed the striker to showcase his skill and composure.

Later, Fernandez got on the scoresheet himself, reacting sharply to a loose ball in the box to nod in his first goal of the Premier League season.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, returning to his former club Leicester, revealed post-match that he has been encouraging Fernandez to get into attacking positions more often. The tactical adjustment paid off in style, with Fernandez’s contributions proving decisive in the match.

Fernandez’s recent form has been particularly encouraging for Chelsea fans. While he has struggled for consistent starts in recent weeks, the midfielder has shown immense quality when called upon.

His recent creative contributions—one goal and three assists in his last five outings for club and country—highlight his growing confidence and impact.

Despite interest from European giants like Barcelona and Inter Milan, Fernandez is determined to establish himself as a key player at Stamford Bridge.

His performance against Leicester was a strong statement, proving why he remains one of Chelsea’s most promising talents.

Joe Cole summed it up best: Leicester simply had no answers to Fernandez’s brilliance on Saturday.
