“They’re becoming a serious leaders on the pitch”, “GIVE THEM A NEW 10 YEAR CONTRACT” – Fans praise Chelsea duo after 3-0 win over Aston Villa
Following their performance against Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday, December 1, Chelsea supporters showered Marc Cucurella and Moises Caicedo with appreciation. As the Blues easily defeated Unai Emery’s squad 3-0 to even the score with second-place Arsenal, the two hit the ball out of the park.
Chelsea quickly established their dominance at Stamford Bridge, breaking the tie in the seventh minute when Nicolas Jackson struck the near post with a precise left-footed strike.
Even though they were ahead, the home team continued to apply pressure and doubled their lead in the 36th minute after a fantastic free-flowing play. After taking Cole Palmer’s pass into his stride, Enzo Fernandez struck the bottom with his right foot.
Palmer put the game to bed in the 83rd minute as he curled home a pass he received from Noni Madueke. The Blues saw out the remainder of the second half with relative ease to take home all three points.
While Cole Palmer won the Player of the Match award for his heroics, Marc Cucurella and Moises Caicedo also stood out for the Blues. Cucurella was impressive in the left back for Chelsea as he kept Aston Villa winger Jaden Philogene under wraps. The Spanish defender made two clearances, had 127 touches, made 96 percent accurate passes, and had a rating of 7.8 as per Sofascore.
Caicedo, despite being deployed on the left back, wasn’t dribbled past throughout the game; he made three key passes, had 76 touches, and had a rating of 7.4 as per Sofascore.
Here is how fans reacted to the performance of the pair.
