Planet Swans ArchivesIt is probably unfair to single out Fernandez above anyone else on Saturday but he was a major reason why the likes of Diego Costa did not get much change out of the Swansea defence.
There was of course a penalty shout against him in the first half but there was clear evidence that he got the ball first and that the referee was right to award the corner rather than the penalty that the home side were screaming for.
Fernandez made his debut for the Swans at Stamford Bridge last season and this time around he saw his team mates keep up the pressure for the 90 minutes having faded away in the second half last time around.
“Itรขโฌโขs a very good result and a very good start to the season,รขโฌย said the Argentina international. รขโฌลIt was a good game for us at a difficult stadium, but the team did incredible.
รขโฌลIn the second half, after the sending off for Courtois, we controlled the game and performed well.
รขโฌลThey are the champions, theyรขโฌโขre a very good team, who are very good on the counter attack. For us, we showed great concentration throughout the game.
รขโฌลWeรขโฌโขre very happy because it gives us confidence for the season, especially for all of the new players.
รขโฌลWe will work hard for next weekendรขโฌโขs game against Newcastle. This point is important, but we need to make sure we follow up with a win next Saturday.รขโฌย
