It was another memorable away day at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as the Blues secured another victory and went to within two points of second place thanks to Joao Pedro’s first-half strike.

Enzo Fernandez was an instrumental part of the victory, helping to create four chances for his team-mates – the most in the Blues’ ranks – while also aiding us out of possession against tough opposition.

And even the Argentine will admit that his job was helped by another hugely impressive display from Caicedo, which included a plethora of tackles, interceptions, recoveries and the all-important assist for Joao Pedro’s decisive finish.

The Ecuadorian was voted Player of the Match by supporters on the Chelsea Official App, and it’s fair to say that Enzo supports that decision.

‘As I always say, honestly, there are only words of admiration for him,’ Enzo beamed, talking about Moises' performance.

‘He’s a very humble, hard-working guy, who always gives his all for the team every day. I'm very happy to have him at Chelsea; he's a machine. I hope it continues like this.’

Enzo recognises just how crucial Saturday’s victory was as we looked to make amends for the defeat to Sunderland the week prior, and heading into a busy fixture schedule.

He continued: ‘This victory was very important for us. We were left with a bitter taste in our mouths after what happened last week at Stamford Bridge. Today, we showed character and attitude, and I think we deserved to be winners.

'It's important because it was a London derby, and that’s something we take very seriously. I'm very happy with the effort my team-mates put in. I think we deserved to win, and we picked up three very important points.

‘We created a lot of chances, but the important thing is that we won and put three points on the board.’

And our busy calendar ramps up once again on Wednesday as we face Qarabag in Baku in the Champions League – and Enzo is raring to go.

‘We're ready,’ Enzo added. ‘We love playing in the Champions League. Last year, we fought hard to get there, and now we have that opportunity, so every match is very important for us.’
