Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca praised the fine form of his player Moises Caicedo after the Blues' 1-0 win over Tottenham.

Chelsea secured a key win over Tottenham to move fourth and remain in contention for a top four finish. The Blues claimed victory over Spurs thanks to an Enzo Fernandez header in the second half.

Minutes later, the Blues could have doubled their lead through Moises Caicedo, who had a stellar performance against Postecoglou's team, but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review

After the match, Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca praised the form of the Ecuadorian midfielder, whom he considers the best in the world in his position at the moment.

"Moi Caicedo is so humble, so kind… so good. He’s one of the best, if not the best, defensive midfielder in the world right now. The best thing about Moi is that every day he's working very seriously. He’s an example," he said.
