Enzo Fernandez may be one of the few bright sparks in a disastrous start to the season for Chelsea, but even he had a nightmare against Bournemouth.
Despite spending £400million and once again breaking the British transfer record, the Blues have suffered their second worst start to a Premier League season so far.

Having lost to Nottingham Forest before the international break, things were little better afterwards with a lifeless 0-0 draw on the south coast.
Midfield specialist and £106.8million Fernandez once again did everything but score in the match, but it was his actions once his shift ended that attracted some criticism.
Replaced in the 81st minute by Ian Maatsen, the Argentine took his time leaving the field as Chelsea desperately needed a goal.
According to reports from the ground, football.london claims captain of the day Conor Gallagher unleashed on his midfield partner for rushing ‘very loudly’.
They also say away fans “expressed their frustration” at Fernandez, and that wasn’t the only heated moment of a difficult afternoon.
Thiago Silva also reprimanded his teammates according to football.london over a first-half incident.
With a quick free kick played to the defender by Robert Sanchez, Silva looked up and had no options available.
Levi Colwill, Mykhailo Mudryk and Enzo Fernandez were too high up the pitch to give the Brazilian any options, and he let them know, shouting at his teammates to get their act together.
