He told TNT: “It’s an amazing feeling for us. We had to bounce back - it’s not just about Leeds, there were two games that we didn’t win.
“But we knew we had to make a great performance today because Chelsea are a very good side and it was very important for us because we know our aim is to get in the top four and they are the closest one to the top five. Making distance is important for us and that’s what we need.”
Of his own performance, Fernandes added: "I say every time I want to do better than the season before.
“I want to improve my game overall. I need to improve every week because I want to become a better player and end my career as the best as possible."
