EPL: Estevão, Caicedo Brilliance Secures Chelsea Win Against Liverpool; Oliseh Hails Duo

The football world is still buzzing following Chelsea’s dramatic 2-1 victory over reigning Premier League champions Liverpool on Saturday, with former Super Eagles midfielder and veteran football pundit, Sunday Oliseh, singling out two of the Blues’ star performers for exceptional praise.

Dependable NG reports that the two players earning Oliseh’s high commendation are the Ecuadorian midfielder, Moises Caicedo, whose stunning strike opened the scoring, and the Brazilian teenager, Willian Estevão, who emerged as the late-game hero. Caicedo’s goal, a thunderous effort from distance in the 14th minute, set the tone for a gripping contest at Stamford Bridge. Liverpool clawed their way back into the match through a smart finish from Cody Gakpo, but the sensational 18-year-old Estevão snatched the winning goal in stoppage time, sending the home crowd into a frenzy and securing a vital three points for the West London club.

The performance of the Chelsea duo clearly left an impression on the former Nigeria international. Taking to social media platform X, Oliseh shared his appreciation, writing, “Rarely lately have I gotten the opportunity to say this, but Chelsea were impressive today. Loved Caicedo’s thunderstrike for 1st goal and… this Estevao player has everything to be a superstar! Mama mia, what a player! E wan kill Liverpool left back, oh my God.”

Estevão, who came on as a substitute, made an immediate impact, with his late-game heroics providing Chelsea with a memorable victory. His match-winning goal, a tap-in from a low cross, sealed an incredible night for the youngster. The hard-fought victory was particularly sweet for Chelsea, snapping a run of poor results and handing Liverpool a recent loss, further shaking up the top of the Premier League table.
