Mauricio Pochettino believes Enzo Fernandez has the confidence to begin showing his best form for Chelsea after the World Cup winner netted his first Premier League goals against Brighton.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old headed in his team\u2019s first after 17 minutes before adding a second from the penalty spot after the break, as the hosts weathered the loss of captain Conor Gallagher to a red card in the 45th minute to claim a 3-2 victory at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

It was a first win in six attempts in the Premier League against Roberto De Zerbi\u2019s side and saw the Argentina international, who signed from Benfica for a then British record \u00a3107m in January, finally break his scoring duck in the league on his 31st appearance.<\/p>\n

His influence has grown at the heart of Chelsea\u2019s midfield, particularly since the arrival of Moises Caicedo in August, which has allowed him to take up more advanced positions.<\/p>\n

Pochettino, who also saw defender Levi Colwill score his first for the club, predicted Fernandez\u2019s first league goals will only accelerate his progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important that different players can score,\u201d said the manager. \u201cIt was Enzo\u2019s first and second in the Premier League, it\u2019s important to build confidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlayers sometimes need one season, six months, 10 months to start to show their real quality. Why would it be different at Chelsea?<\/p>\n

\u201cSo happy that different players can score. It\u2019s a good thing for the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

The win was just Chelsea\u2019s second at home in the league this season and their fourth of 2023, lifting them into the top half of the table following the previous weekend\u2019s 4-1 rout by Newcastle.<\/p>\n

The game finished amidst confusion as Brighton were awarded a penalty in the ninth minute of stoppage time by referee Craig Pawson after the ball struck Colwill in the face inside the box.<\/p>\n

A pitch-side VAR check \u2013 the game\u2019s second after Mykhailo Mudryk had won a spot-kick following a review \u2013 overturned the decision, but emotions boiled over with players of both sides squaring up to each other as the final whilst went.<\/p>\n

\n

It was exciting, people were upset<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cFootball is emotional, no?\u201d said Pochettino. \u201cIt\u2019s normal, our reaction and the reaction from Brighton. You are playing for a lot of things. It\u2019s really important there three points for us (or) one point for Brighton.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s massive confusion at the end of the game. It was exciting, people were upset. That\u2019s what happened when we were in the middle all together.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou create this type of relationship where it becomes massive confusion.\u201d<\/p>\n
