WATCH: Edson Alvarez threatens to kill Enzo Fernandes in heated battle

In their Premier League match on Saturday, Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez and West Ham's Edson Alvarez got into a furious argument. Nicolas Jackson scored two goals in the first half of Chelsea's 3-0 victory at the London Stadium, and Cole Palmer added a superb finish to round out the scoring.

Tensions threatened to flare at the start of the second half after Alvarez received a yellow card for a foul on Palmer just after he scored Chelsea's third goal. West Ham had struggled to bother Chelsea throughout the game. 

After Palmer was challenged, Fernandez became enraged and walked up to Alvarez. The West Ham midfield player muffled his lips, but Spanish television captured the midfielder using some really foul language. Edson Alvarez told Fernandes, "I’ll wait for you. I’ll kill you outside, wherever you want."

“It’s a massively disappointing game” : Jarrad Bowen

Jarrod Bowen, the captain of West Ham, called the defence that allowed Jackson's opener "schoolboy stuff" in his post-match remarks. He said, “It’s a massively disappointing game, and one that didn’t go the way we wanted it to. We’re really disappointed with how we performed and the result as well. The goals were very easy, especially the first one which came from a free kick – it was schoolboy stuff, you never take your eye off the ball.”

The England attacker added, “In the Premier League the players you’re playing against have quality and they can really hurt you. We concede a free kick in the middle of the pitch and we need to be savvy about it, maybe take the yellow card to stop a quick one, because a lot of teams would do it against us.”

He concluded by saying that, “The second goal again, I think we were trying to get after the ball, then the striker’s through on goal and it’s 2-0. You come in at half time obviously disappointed to be 2-0 down, but in the second half you have nothing to lose and can throw everything at it – but we conceded after 90 seconds which again takes the stuffing out of us. It’s a disappointing day all round.”
