(Video): Reece James and Moises Caicedo combine to create Enzo Fernandez goal

Chelsea lead against Brighton! It came from an attack down the right hand side through Moises Caicedo and Reece James.

The midfielder found a clever reverse pass between full back and centre back to release the onrushing James. His cross took a deflection, but ended up going exactly where he would have wanted it to go – to the far post where Enzo Fernandez was rushing in to head it home.

You can see the goal in the clips embedded here:

Enzo

Enzo is becoming a bit of a divisive figure at Chelsea now. There are increasing calls

They accuse him of “covering up” bad performances with goals and assists. Today might end up being a perfect example.

The fact that Cole Palmer is out and Enzo has been moved forward into his position should help him. It reduces his defensive responsibilities further and means he’s even more able to get into positions to score goals like this.

We still want to see more from him creatively and in terms of possession, but as long as he keeps getting on the scoresheet nobody is going to complain.
