Manchester United icon, Gary Neville, has named Chelsea’s Moises Caicedo as ‘the best midfielder in the Premier League’.
This followed the midfielder’s outstanding performance in Chelsea’s victory over Liverpool on Saturday.
It was a third defeat in a row for the Reds, inflicted on them by the Blues who showed a different character after also suffering defeats in recent weeks.
Caicedo broke the deadlock on 14 minutes with a superb strike but Cody Gakpo made 1-1 for Liverpool.
However, Estevao Willian scored with virtually the last kick of the game to give the home side a deserved victory.
Neville pointed out that Caicedo was the most outstanding player at Stamford Bridge.
“Moises Caicedo was the best player on the pitch by a mile,” Neville said on his Sky Sports podcast.
“Forget the goal, which was absolutely incredible, his work around the pitch means he’s two in one.
“He’s everything and a brilliant midfielder player. He was the best player on the pitch by a mile and if Liverpool had him they would have won, he was that good
“He’s the best midfielder in the Premier League at this moment in time.
“Right now I think we can say he’s the best midfielder in the Premier League.”
Estevao’s goal for the Blues was his first since arriving at Stamford Bridge in the summer.
