Enzo Fernandez, Chelsea's record signing, made his debut with the new team in a goalless draw against Fulham in the Premier League yesterday. Fernandez, who won the 2022 World Cup with Argentina and joined Chelsea from Benfica for about $130 million, showcased some magical touches and precise passes, along with timely interventions. However, his team's struggles with the final touch in front of goal continued, as Kai Havertz nearly scored in the first half with a brilliant attempt that hit the post.
As a result, Fulham, who had opportunities to trouble Chelsea, rises to sixth place with 32 points from 22 matches, three spots ahead of Chelsea, who has 30 points from 21 matches. It's worth noting that the 22-year-old World Cup winner joined Chelsea last Tuesday, on the final day of the winter transfer window. Additionally, Chelsea, which spent about $361 million during the winter transfer period, had previously lost 2-1 to Fulham last month.
