Enzo Fernandez, without a doubt, is currently Chelsea's standout player. The Argentina national football player not only owns half the field, but, as if that weren't enough, he contributes goals to the team that Liam Rosenior has been managing since early January. He now has 6 goals and 1 assist in the last 10 appearances.
The most recent came in the second minute of stoppage time for what was the 3-2 victory over West Ham United, marking the fifth win in the last 6 Premier League matches. That is, 15 points out of 18 that allowed the Blues to come from behind and climb the table (they now sit fourth with 40 points).
And as could only be expected, the English media surrendered to Enzo Fernandez's feet, both for his performance and his late goal. "Chelsea came back from 2-0 down to beat West Ham thanks to an Enzo Fernandez goal in added time."
Furthermore, the mentioned outlet gave the player an 8 rating and explained: "He adapted much better to the more advanced role he has played in Cole Palmer's absence. At first, he seemed a bit lost, but once again he appeared at the edge of the box to do what he does best: rescue Chelsea with a wonder goal."
For its part, The Standard already considers the world champion as the standout figure of the London team so far in the 2025/26 season: "He is arguably Chelsea's player of the season, Enzo Fernandez, who won the match."
Additionally, the Premier League, on its official website, also highlighted the Argentine player's involvement: "Enzo Fernandez scored the winning goal in added time, and Chelsea recovered remarkably from a 2-0 halftime deficit to beat West Ham United 3-2."
The one who stepped back was Alejandro Garnacho, who started the match against West Ham in the starting lineup, but with the score 2-0 at the end of the first 45 minutes, Liam Rosenior decided to replace him with Joao Pedro. Then came the epic comeback, leaving the former Manchester United player quite exposed due to his poor form.
