Rumoured Liverpool target Enzo Fernandez has been praised by global superstar Lionel Messi after helping Argentina clinch a vital 2-0 victory against Mexico on Saturday evening.
The two-times World Cup winners headed into the Group C fixture under huge pressure, after suffering a shock 2-1 defeat at the hands of unfancied Saudi Arabia last time out.
But a trademark finish from Messi gave La Albiceleste a second half lead, before substitute Fernandez sealed the win with a fine curling effort from just inside the penalty area, putting their World Cup aims back on track. All eyes are on Messi, who is widely believed to be participating in what will be his last World Cup, but the former Barcelona great had plenty of praise for teammate Fernandez, following his crucial contribution.
