His pass accuracy stood at an outstanding 96%, demonstrating his exceptional control over the game’s tempo. Caicedo’s adeptness in distributing the ball was further evident with a commendable 5 out of 6 successful long balls.

Additionally, he exhibited remarkable physical prowess by winning 4 out of 5 ground duels, asserting his dominance on the field. Defensively, Caicedo proved invaluable, making 2 crucial tackles. Perhaps most notably, he displayed remarkable defensive prowess, as he was not dribbled past a single time, underscoring his proficiency in maintaining possession and thwarting opposition advances. This performance truly showcased Caicedo’s versatility and impact on the match.

The £115m man once again played alongside Enzo Fernandez, right in the heart of the midfield, and controlled the match. Within the initial 45 minutes, the Ecuadorian international outperformed every other player, from both Burnley and Chelsea, in successful ball recoveries and chances created. Furthermore, he played a significant role in setting up Sterling’s goal in the second half. Caicedo now aims to sustain this high level of performance following the international break.
