“Wow, he really surprised me he has improved” “Don’t sell him again” – Mikel Obi was shocked after what Chelsea star did in 1-0 win over Tottenham
Chelsea Extend Dominance Over Spurs with a Narrow Victory at Stamford Bridge
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Chelsea continued their impressive winning streak against Tottenham Hotspur with a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge. A first-half goal from Enzo Fernández was enough to seal the three points for the Blues in yet another intense London derby.
The Argentine midfielder struck with precision, converting a well-worked team move to put Chelsea ahead. Despite opportunities to extend their lead, the scoreline remained unchanged — though not without controversy.
Chelsea thought they had doubled their lead after a stunning finish from one of their midfielders. However, VAR intervened, ruling the goal out for offside, much to the frustration of the home crowd. Replays showed the decision was marginal, but the officials stood firm.
While Enzo’s goal took the headlines, it was Moisés Caicedo’s commanding performance in midfield that drew widespread praise — including from former Chelsea star John Obi Mikel.
Speaking after the match, Mikel didn’t hold back his admiration for the Ecuadorian international:
“I have to be sincere — Chelsea have got a gem in that midfield. Moisés Caicedo was exceptional tonight and showed us again exactly what he brings to this team.”
The former Nigerian international went on to compare Caicedo’s impact to that of Chelsea legend N’Golo Kanté, expressing his belief that Caicedo has what it takes to cement a long-term legacy at the club.
“After Kanté’s time at Chelsea, I truly believe Caicedo can have a similar run. Honestly, I think Chelsea should just add another 10 years to his contract — the man is so exceptional.”
Mikel concluded with a bold statement, highlighting just how crucial Caicedo was to the team’s victory:
“For me, he won us the game.”
Caicedo’s performance — marked by tireless pressing, intelligent positioning, and calm distribution — was a reminder of why Chelsea invested heavily in the midfielder. His presence allowed the Blues to control the tempo and neutralize Tottenham’s attacking threats throughout the match.
As Chelsea continue to build momentum in the Premier League, performances like this will be key to their ambitions — and if Caicedo maintains this level, he may well be on the path to becoming a modern legend at Stamford Bridge.
