Speaking on TNT Sports, Gerrard was quick to emphasise that Fernandez’s impact extended far beyond his crucial goal.
He said (via BBC Sport):
“You have to say Enzo Fernandez has been absolutely tremendous from the get-go. He keeps picking up positions on the sides of them, behind them. He’s jumping on second balls.
“He played a lovely pass earlier to Joao Pedro, so he’s certainly influencing this game. It’s a big goal for Chelsea, in the context of the day and also for the run they are on.”
Big praise from a legend of the game.
