Enzo Maresca claimed there is only one defensive midfielder ‘in the world’ who can be considered as good as Moises Caicedo after his latest display in a Chelsea shirt.

Joao Pedro’s first-half goal was enough to separate the sides in north London as Chelsea moved back into the top four of the Premier League with their fifth-straight win over Tottenham.

The Blues produced a dominant display against their local rivals, and, in truth, should have run away with the game had it not been for a number of smart saves and squanderd chances.

Once again, though, it was the performance of Caicedo that typified a superb derby display from Maresca’s side, with the midfielder showing great tenacity to win the ball back twice before setting up Pedro for the game’s winning goal.

And the Ecuadorian international continued in that vein throughout the game, delivering an all-action display with and without the ball to dirve his side on to a deserved victory.
