“Absolutely sensational” – Alan Shearer waxes lyrical over Chelsea star for “gigantic” Liverpool performance | OneFootball

Premier League legend Alan Shearer has heaped praise on Chelsea star Moises Caicedo for his performance against Liverpool.

Chelsea ran out deserved 2-1 winners against the champions at Stamford Bridge thanks to a last minute goal from Estevao.

Caicedo had given Chelsea the lead with an absolute rocket into the top corner, before Cody Gakpo equalised, but Estevao’s winner gave the Blues a first league win since the end of August.

Enzo Maresca went with a midfield three with Enzo Fernandez pushing further up the pitch with Malo Gusto surprisingly playing alongside Caicedo.

Gary Neville hailed Caicedo as the best midfielder in the Premier League after the game, and Shearer has now shared his thoughts.

“It was a gigantic midfield performance, it had absolutely everything,” he told BBC Match of the Day as quoted on X.com.

“It had a bit of Frank Lampard, it had a bit of N’Golo Kanté.

“Moises Caicedo was just absolutely sensational. That’s not just today, by the way, that’s all season.”

Chelsea have also been handed a further boost after Caicedo wasn’t called up to the Ecuador squad for their upcoming friendlies, which gives him the opportunity to have a much needed rest.

It wasn’t just the Ecuadorian who impressed against Liverpool, it was also Fernandez and Lavia in his first meaningful minutes of the season.

Lavia came on in the second half despite playing just 11 minutes against Brighton so far this season and was instantly at the level required.

The Belgian was brilliant alongside Caicedo, and once again showed how important he is to this team, but Chelsea just desperately need him to stay fit.
