(Video): Chelsea's best player rewarded with stunning strike – but Enzo lets his team down again moments later
11/03/2024 01:22 PM
Well Chelsea had gone behind in this game and it looked like it was going to be a brutally frustrating day out at Old Trafford, but Moises Caicedo has just stepped up to make this exciting again.
The midfielder had the ball fall to him from a corner, and he decided to hit it on the full volley, low at the near post.
The ball actually went through Cole Palmer's legs – is there anything the guy doesn't get involved in? Or was that Mykhailo Mudryk?
Caicedo has been one of the few players on the pitch at all who can say they performed today – and now he has the goal to prove it. It's the kind of shot you only take on when your team has been lacking anything concrete in attack – and in this case it paid off.
You can see the goal in the clip embedded here:

Enzo struggles continue with awful miss
Chelsea could even have turned the game on its hear a minute later – Enzo Fernandez had a shot with a semi empty goal which he spooned fully over the bar. Utterly frustrating.
The midfielder is no longer in Enzo Maresca's first team, and at this rate he's not getting back into it anytime soon. For £105m you can accept a midfielder who doesn't score – but you can't accept one who can't run, can't defend, AND can't score.
He's still got half an hour to make an impact, but at this rate he's got a long way back if he wants to get in the team. If only Enzo had made the steady improvements that Caicedo has, in 6 months fewer at the club.
