Alejandro Garnacho doubled the lead after having an earlier goal disallowed for offside.
The Argentine benefitted from another Fernandes contribution, finishing first time past Mads Hermansen at the near post to extend the visitors’ lead.
Fernandes completed the scoring in the 90th minute with a curling effort from the edge of the area, capping a commanding performance that moved Ruben Amorim’s side up to 13th position in the table.
