A headed goal from Enzo Fernandez was enough to win Chelsea today’s FA Cup semi final against Leeds, and after the game caretaker manager Calum McFarlane was full of praise for the midfielder, particularly for his header:

“I said that to him at the end, I said, ‘you like scoring at the back post for me’. And he just laughed,” McFarlane said.

“He does that really well, he’s done it all year. It’s one of his biggest attributes, that when you attack down the right, his timing of his runs, his ability to actually get good distance and height on his jump and his heading technique is really good. He’s a winner, he’s got so much talent, he’s got so much fight, he’s massive for this group.”
