Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior has defended vice-captain Enzo Fernandez for his 'Roy Keane-like' reaction to goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen's mistake at Paris St-Germain.
Fernandez, who scored Chelsea's second goal at PSG, was seen berating Jorgensen and throwing the ball towards him after the goalkeeper's misplaced pass led to Vitinha's third goal.
Chelsea went on to lose 5-2 at the Parc des Princes and face a difficult task in the second leg of the Champions League last-16 tie.
Asked about the incident after reviewing the footage, Rosenior said: "As a player with passion, he wants to win. Roy Keane did that, probably.
"Roy Keane was my manager, but Roy Keane as a player probably did that 20 times a game. I want a team with a culture of accountability where we can demand from each other in the moment.
"Enzo loves Filip, Enzo wants the best for him, Enzo believes in him. In that moment he was frustrated with something that happened, and that's normal, isn't it?"
He added: "In the social media climate now, any small thing can become the biggest thing based on the number of clicks it gets. The reality is nowhere near as big as it's made out to be. They're best mates, and they spoke as soon as they got back into the dressing room."
Chelsea next welcome Newcastle to Stamford Bridge on Saturday in the Premier League.
