Fernandes’ penalty was similar to the style adopted by Chelsea star Jorginho.
He ran up to the ball, skipped, and then struck the ball.
The quick skip meant that the goalkeeper was forced into committing, leaving Fernandes to slide the ball into the opposite corner.
Chelsea supporters weren’t happy that Fernandes decided to use Jorginho’s trick, and joked that he has pictures of the Italian on his bedroom wall.
