Neville: Caicedo Is Premier League's Best Midfielder

Moisés Caicedo was man-of-the-match as Chelsea beat Liverpool at Stamford Bridge, scoring a 25-yard screamer and initiating the move that led to Estêvão Willian’s injury-time winner. Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville and other pundits hailed Caicedo as the Premier League’s best current midfielder, drawing comparisons with Declan Rice, Rodri and Ryan Gravenberch. His form has markedly improved under manager Enzo Maresca; Caicedo — Chelsea’s player of the year last season — has largely justified the club’s big transfer outlay after an initially slow start. The result lifted Chelsea to sixth in the table and closed the gap on the top sides. Caicedo cautioned it is “too early” to call Chelsea title contenders, and the weekend reshuffled the top of the table with Arsenal moving to the summit and Liverpool suffering a third straight defeat.
