Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino watched his old side beat West Ham United 3-2 on Saturday.
At one point, Chelsea looked destined for defeat. At half-time, they found themselves 2-0 down after a very disappointing first 45 minutes.
However, they were able to turn things around thanks to goals from Joao Pedro, Marc Cucurella and Enzo Fernandez.
Following the full-time whistle, Fernandez was compared to Frank Lampard by another ex-Chelsea player, Gary Cahill.

Like Cahill, Cascarino also had plenty of positive things to say about Fernandez after his winning goal against West Ham.
The 63-year-old hailed Fernandez as a gifted player, impressed with his movement and goalscoring ability.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Cascarino said: “Enzo Fernandez, if you watch him live and I’ve been lucky enough a few times, his movement and ability to get goals like he did for the winner, he does it brilliantly. He’s a really, really gifted footballer. He’s not the quickest, but boy he’s got so much talent.”
The midfielder has been heavily linked to Real Madrid, and that speculation is unlikely to go anywhere if he keeps on scoring important goals for the Blues.
However, it was recently claimed that Chelsea want Vinicius Jr in any potential deal for Fernandez. It is an unlikely swap but has been mentioned in Spain.

Whatever the case, Liam Rosenior will want to keep Fernandez at the club. The Argentine is one of the team’s most important players.

Enzo Fernandez one of the best No.8s/attacking midfielders in the Premier League
Under Rosenior and Enzo Maresca, Fernandez has played as a No.8 and an attacking midfielder. They are roles that the 25-year-old has mastered.
Fernandez has the attributes to play in both positions, and Chelsea fans have seen that lately.
As Cascarino highlighted, the Argentina international has the movement to get into the box and then finish. He is also a great passer and can be a very combative presence in the middle of the park like most South American midfielders.
In either role, you will struggle to find a better player than Fernandez in the Premier League. None of us are talking about his price tag any more — not Chelsea supporters nor people in the media.
