Overview
- Chelsea beat Liverpool 2-1 at Stamford Bridge as Moisés Caicedo struck from long range and 18-year-old Estevao Willian came off the bench to score the 95th‑minute winner.
- Post-match reaction split opinion on Caicedo’s status, with Gary Neville calling him the Premier League’s best midfielder, Jamie Carragher preferring Declan Rice, and Paul Scholes arguing Caicedo is elite at breaking up play but not an all‑rounder.
- Caicedo downplayed comparisons to Chelsea greats N’Golo Kanté and Claude Makélélé, saying he is “very far” from their legacy and emphasizing continued work after achieving his outside‑the‑box goal target this season.
- Estevao credited Enzo Maresca for telling him to “play my own game” and make an impact before his late winner, following a summer move reported at £29m plus add‑ons from Palmeiras.
- Micah Richards and Alan Shearer praised the Caicedo‑Enzo Fernández axis, with particular credit for Fernández’s versatility and leadership as Chelsea weigh how quickly to integrate their young attackers.
