Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez gave his first interview in English after his side defeated Leicester City 2-1 at the King Power on Saturday.

Fernandez, 23, headed home his side’s second goal of the afternoon on the 75-minute mark, which handed them a two-goal lead against Steve Cooper’s side.

Jordan Ayew scored a 95th-minute penalty, but it was a comfortable afternoon for Enzo Maresca’s side.

After the game, the stand-in Chelsea captain Fernandez was interviewed by broadcaster TNT Sports as he was named Player of the Match.

The 23-year-old scored, assisted Nicolas Jackson’s goal, created three chances, won seven duels, and recovered the ball five times, to name a few of the impressive statistics from his performance in the East Midlands.

But after all that, fans could not help but notice his post-match interview.

“I am very happy – for the team [and] for the win most important[ly],” Fernandez told TNT Sports.

“I am very happy for Nico [Jackson], good goal Nico,” he added.

“[We need to] keep going, keep working, keep pushing.”

Jackson then presented his teammate with the Player of the Match award before the pair embraced.

Chelsea’s victory saw them go third in the league, trailing Man City (face Spurs at 17:30) by one point and leaders Liverpool by six points (face Southampton at 14:00 on Sunday).

Maresca was quick to praise Fernandez’s performance at Leicester.

“Enzo [Fernandez] did very well today,” he told Chelsea FC.com.

“He’s doing well since we started, the same as Joao Felix, as I have said many times.

"The problem is depending on the game plan, we use different kinds of players.

“I thought today was the right game to use Enzo, even if he was just back from international duty. I think he did very well.

“I am trying to convince Enzo in the way I played last year [at Leicester] with [Wilfred] Ndidi and Kiernan [Dewsbury-Hall], the attacking midfielder has to arrive inside the box.

"The reason he scored today was because he was in the box.

"Otherwise, from outside the box, you are not going to score goals.

“So we are happy with the way Enzo is playing.”

Next up for the west Londoners is a trip to German outfit Heidenheim in the Europa Conference League on November 28 before they return to Premier League action on December 1 against Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.
