Even some of Chelsea’s largest critics found it very difficult to critique their work on Saturday following a 3-0 win over West Ham.
Enzo Maresca continued his perfect run away from home in the Premier League this season, with a number of individual performances helping his side to a dominant victory.
Nicolas Jackson will no doubt help himself to a lot of the headlines following his quickfire double in the first half, however a lot of the hard work was done behind him on the pitch.
It was an imperious display from their midfielders that will perhaps go under the radar, with Moises Caicedo making a real mark on proceedings.
Both players were selected in the Premier League Team of the Week for their efforts, and a Chelsea legend was left wowed by the Ecuador international in particular.
Mikel tips Moises Caicedo to become Chelsea captain
John Obi Mikel claimed after the game that he believed Caicedo had the makings of a future Chelsea captain.
He told the Obi One Podcast: “Moises Caicedo is an absolutely fantastic player, he was everywhere on Saturday. Not just breaking up play, linking up play as well. The passing, everything. It was a N’Golo Kante kind of performance.”
“This is a guy that I think will eventually go on to captain Chelsea one day.”
Caicedo improving every week
Despite the extremely high price paid for the former Brighton midfielder, it seems as if Caicedo is beginning to show what all the fuss was about last summer.
He is frequently performing better alongside Enzo Fernandez too, with there no doubt being hope that they can continue for a prolonged period of time at Stamford Bridge.
It remains to be seen whether Caicedo is handed a chance to get a rare rest tonight when the Blues are back in action in the Carabao Cup against Barrow.
Maresca will look to rotate tonight, with a number of players who have struggled to be given their opportunity up to now hoping to be given the chance to feature.
