Enzo Fernandez produced a sensational free kick against Aston Villa that was hailed 'world class' by Lee Dixon.
The midfielder has had a tough time of things since his £107million move from Benfica last winner, but put in arguably his best performance in a Blues shirt against Aston Villa.
Fernandez, who moved to Chelsea on the back of a strong World Cup campaign with winners Argentina, helped control proceedings in the first half as his partnership with Moises Caicedo finally started to blossom.
He scored a stunning free kick just before the hour mark, putting his side 3-0 up and on the verge of reaching the fifth round of the FA Cup despite being up against it before the game.
In an effort that received top praise from Lee Dixon on ITV commentary, Fernandez curled his effort over the wall and past international team-mate Emi Martinez in what was arguably his finest moment in a Chelsea shirt to date.
'He's completely dominated the first half in that midfield and this is absolutely world class,' Dixon said after the strike. 'That is a world class goalkeeper who gets a palm to it and can't keep it out, it's almost behind him when he gets there with his glove.
'Almost inch perfect, but good enough. Him and Caicedo in that midfield have been a real strong point of this Chelsea team and he just caps it all off with an absolute worldie free kick.
'He picked the ball up straight way and put it down. Two or three other players had a little pick up, moving the ball, but there was only one taker. He stayed constant, and he's eyeing that top corner up and when he came to deliver, absolutely word perfect.'
