The Argentine midfielder scored a double to give him three points for those led by Pochettino.

The leadership shown by the Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez, seasoned by the scoring talent that led him to score a double, led Chelsea to victory, which was reunited with a good result and extended the doubts of Brighton, defeated again. Stamford Bridge saw two teams called for those most in need.

Outside the upper part, lost at the equator, in no man's land. It has nothing to do with Brighton, which is languishing without Ansu Fati, and who last day defeated Nottingham Forest after six games without a win. It was a mirage and Roberto de Zerbi's squad, a sensation from the previous campaign, went back to their old ways, losing again.

Chelsea got the three points thanks to Enzo Fernandez in the 3-2 victory against Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club on Matchday 14 of the Premier League, as the Argentine midfielder scored a double for the team by Mauricio Pochettino.

The Argentine's first goal came in the 17th minute after a corner kick where Chelsea was unable to finish at first, but Benoît Badiashile sent the ball back into the area for Enzo to appear to finish off with a header. At 21' Levi Colwill scored the second for the locals, although at 43' Facundo Buonanotte was in charge of scoring the first goal for Brighton and thus went into the break with a one-goal deficit.

Final development of the match

In the second half Enzo Fernandez appeared on the scoreboard again, because when the 65th minute was running in Argentina he took a penalty to beat the goal defended by Jason Steele although despite already losing the game at 90' João Pedro scored the goal of honor for visitors. With this result, those led by Mauricio Pochettino are in tenth place with 19 points, while Brighton is in eighth place with 22 points.
