BREAKING Jose Mourinho forced to intervene as Chelsea captain Enzo Fernandez targeted

Former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has been forced to intervene after Benfica fans targeted Enzo Fernandez at Stamford Bridge.

Leading 1-0 after Alejandro Garnacho's cross was turned in by Benfica defender Richard Rios, the Blues were looking to make their pressure count with a corner in front of the travelling supporters. Fernandez took charge of the situation and jogged towards the Portuguese fans.

The midfielder used to play for Benfica before joining Chelsea and applauded his former supporters before attempting to take the corner. However, as he turned his back on them and lined up the corner, a number of objects were thrown on the pitch towards Fernandez.
