Scores late goal in FA Cup
Fernandes scored one goal to go with 10 crosses and five tackles (three won) in Sunday's 2-2 (2-4) penalty shootout loss against Leeds United.
Analysis: Fernandes dragged West Ham back into the tie in the 93rd minute, crashing home the rebound after Jarrod Bowen's shot hit the post off an Adama Traore setup and slotting it in to cut the deficit to 2-1 in the first of two stoppage-time goals that sent the match to extra time. He ended his 120-minute shift with one goal, one shot and one chance created. Fernandes also made his presence felt on set pieces and with his defensive work in midfield, racking up a season-high 10 crosses and five tackles to cap off his performance.
Provides assist in win
Fernandes assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Burnley.
Analysis: Fernandes assisted the opener with a driving run through midfield before threading Crysencio Summerville clean through for the 13rd minute finish. He dictated the tempo of West Ham United's transitions early on, repeatedly carrying the ball at speed to flip Burnley around and force them to defend facing their own goal. After the Hammers went two goals clear, he dropped into game management mode, shoring things up with three tackles won, two interceptions and two blocks while helping see the match out.
