Viewers of the clash between Chelsea and Liverpool have taken to social media in numbers on Sunday, to lavish praise on a key member of the former’s engine room ranks.
The player in question? Enzo Fernandez.
For those who missed the clash, Argentine international Fernandez was afforded his latest start this evening, at the heart of Mauricio Pochettino’s midfield.
Chelsea, as a collective, put on a solid display, holding their own despite a number of new faces featuring from the off en route to an eventual 1-1 draw.

It was Fernandez, though, who stood out above all others, controlling proceedings with consummate ease from his deep-lying berth.
The 22-year-old, in turn, saw his efforts aptly recognised, by way of the Man of the Match award at Stamford Bridge.
Taking to social media in their droves, viewers of this evening’s action have lavished praise on Chelsea’s big-money maestro, going as far as to label Fernandez ‘the best midfielder in the Premier League’:
