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.”

It’s interesting to hear from someone who has coached him that it’s more than that – he also has great heading technique and timing of his jump. For a player not known for his physical attributes, he certainly does well in the air.
McFarlane also spoke about one key decision he had to make in his team selection in defence.
