Estevao praises Enzo

Chelsea winger Estevao Willian has heaped praise on midfielder Enzo Fernandez following the 5-1 Champions League win over Ajax at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues continued their winning streak with a convincing triumph over Ajax. Estevao got the nod in the starting XI and he scored his maiden European goal from the penalty spot.

Speaking after the victory, Willian described Fernandez as a sensational guy, having given him the opportunity to find the back of the net.

He said: "Enzo [Fernandez] is a sensational guy, he gave me the opportunity to take the penalty.

"I didn't expect [that]. I looked at him, he gave me the ball, I was very happy. This reflects a lot of our group, very united."

Chelsea have jumped to 11th in the Champions League standings after back-to-back wins.

They will now entertain Sunderland in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

The Blues will be aiming to jump into the top four if other results go their way.
