Enzo Fernandez Scores Twice for the Blues
Ten-player Chelsea emerged victorious at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, claiming a hard-fought 3-2 win over Brighton in a thrilling Premier League encounter. The action-packed match saw Enzo Fernandez score twice for the Blues, while substitute Danny Welbeck netted a late equalizer for the visitors.
Chelsea took the lead in the 14th minute through Fernandez's header, but Brighton quickly equalized with a goal from Marc Cucurella. The Blues regained their advantage late in the first half when Fernandez converted a penalty, but were reduced to 10 men after Trevoh Chalobah was sent off for a second yellow card.
Brighton pressed for an equalizer in the second half, but Chelsea held firm. Welbeck finally found the back of the net in the 90th minute to earn Brighton a draw, but Chelsea managed to cling on to their narrow lead and secure a valuable three points.
The victory was a much-needed one for Chelsea, who have struggled for consistency this season. It lifts them up to eighth place in the Premier League table, while Brighton remain in sixth. Enzo Fernandez was the star of the show for Chelsea, with his two goals proving decisive. The Argentine midfielder has now scored four goals in his last four Premier League appearances.
