A lot of Newcastle United fans are lauding the display Federico Fernandez after another top-class display from the 30-year-old.
Fernandez also popped up with the winning goal – his second this season, and with every passing game, the £6m that the Toon paid for him looks like more of a bargain.
Out of the options available who is Newcastle's best defender?
Fernandez
Clark
Schar
Dummett
Certainly, these Newcastle fans love Fernandez.

What do we think?
The former Swansea man, who is valued at £6.3m by Transfermarkt, has turned in some magnificent performances at the back and has also popped up with two goals and an assist.
Fernandez has made himself pretty much a guaranteed starter in the defence with his superb form and important goal contributions.
Signed by Rafael Benitez last summer on transfer deadline day for £6m, the former Napoli man has established himself as a top-class centre-back and is loved by many Toon supporters on Tyneside.
This goal is sure to endear him to them even more, and Fernandez is fast becoming a favourite on Tyneside.
