Caicedo Stunner and Estevao’s Late Strike Lift Chelsea Past Liverpool

Pundits hailed Moises Caicedo as world-class, underscoring Chelsea’s youth-led rebuild.

Overview

  • Chelsea beat Liverpool 2-1 at Stamford Bridge on October 4, with 18-year-old Estevao Willian scoring a stoppage-time winner after Cody Gakpo had canceled out the opener.
  • Moises Caicedo put Chelsea ahead with a long-range rocket and drew rave reviews, with Jamie Redknapp calling him world-class and Alan Shearer and Gary Neville lauding his dominance.
  • Estevao, a summer signing from Palmeiras, marked his first Premier League goal with the decisive finish, with reports putting his transfer fee at about €61 million.
  • The teenager said Enzo Maresca urged him to play his own game and seek a goal or assist, crediting that message for his decisive cameo.
  • Maresca was sent off for sprinting to celebrate the winner and missed post-match media duties, while Caicedo is set for a breather after not being called up by Ecuador for upcoming friendlies.
