Levi Colwill hails Chelsea teammate as an 'amazing player' following Manchester United draw

Levi Colwill has been discussing one of his teammates following Chelsea’s 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Sunday.

In the end, it was a good point for Chelsea after Enzo Maresca‘s men found themselves 1-0 down in the 70th minute. It was a point that has taken them to fourth in the Premier League table.

Robert Sanchez was the reason why the Blues conceded after giving away a penalty, but his blushes were spared after Moises Caicedo equalised with a fantastic volley.

Right now, the Chelsea board are extremely happy with Caicedo, who has not missed a Premier League game so far this season.

Levi Colwill praises Moises Caicedo

Caicedo is not renowned for scoring goals. Last season, the midfielder only managed to find the back of the net once for Chelsea.

Nevertheless, given his quality, Colwill was not exactly surprised to see him come up with a goal when Maresca’s side needed one.

Speaking to Chelsea’s official website about his teammate, the defender said: “Moi is an amazing player and we’ve got so many of them that, when you’re struggling in a game or when you’re not scoring, they pull out that magic.

“We’ve been behind already this season and we know you’ve got to react fast. We know we’re a good team, we believe we’re going to create more chances to score no matter the time in the game and that happened yesterday.”

Before the match, Colwill also claimed that supporters are seeing him at his best under Maresca.

Moises Caicedo has been amazing this season

There is no doubt that Caicedo is doing well in the current campaign and not just because he has scored one of the goals of the season so far. The stats back it up.

According to the Premier League’s official website, Caicedo has made 35 tackles. No player has registered more.

He has also made 17 interceptions, putting him in the top 10 players for that category.

Rank Player Interceptions
1. Lisandro Martinez 21
2. Mario Lemina 20
2. Kenny Tete 20
2. Virgil van Dijk 20
5. Lewis Cook 18
5. Diogo Dalot 18
7. Moises Caicedo 17
7. Ryan Gravenberch 17
9. Aaron Wan-Bissaka 16
10. Jan Bednarek 15

At present, then, it is quite clear that Caicedo is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League, perhaps even the best.

He can prove the above even further this Sunday when Chelsea take on Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. It is a huge game, so if the 23-year-old performs in it, people will really take note, if they have not already.
