Moises Caicedo made his first start of the season on Saturday in Chelsea\u2019s 5-1 victory over Bournemouth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The midfielder was struggling with an injury before the international break, but he has fully recovered and was able to play just over 70 minutes of football. Xabi Alonso<\/a> will be pleased with Caicedo\u2019s<\/a> contribution, but it was his midfield partner Jordan Henderson who stole the show.<\/p>\n

\n

Henderson scored twice and provided an assist<\/a> as Chelsea<\/a> tore Bournemouth apart. It was just what they needed after losing 3-0 to Brentford in September.<\/p>\n

Pedro Neto was fuming with Moises Caicedo after not receiving pass<\/h2>\n

Henderson and Caicedo both had good games, but there were a couple of moments during the match when they left Pedro Neto<\/a> far from happy. Neto has become known as a bit of a moaner among the Chelsea fan base, and you could see why on Saturday.<\/p>\n

As per football.london<\/a>, Neto lost it with both Caicedo and Henderson after they had opportunities to play him through down the right but failed to. In the end, it obviously did not matter.<\/p>\n

Chelsea put FIVE past Bournemouth \u2013 who was your Man of the Match? <\/h3>\n

Chelsea still managed to win comfortably, with Neto also performing well alongside Caicedo and Henderson. It was the 26-year-old who set up the Blues\u2019 third goal at the beginning of the second half after his low cross found Joao Pedro, who converted his chance emphatically.<\/p>\n

Marco Palestra has returned from injury, but Neto should remain the first-choice right wing-back<\/a> for the time being. He is doing an excellent job in that role going forward, and Saturday\u2019s game was another example.<\/p>\n

Neto can improve his defending and positioning, but that is to be expected. He is an attacker playing in a new position that involves defending.<\/p>\n

How Moises Caicedo restored order to Chelsea\u2019s midfield in Bournemouth victory<\/h2>\n

Truthfully, Neto should just be grateful that Caicedo is back. It has only been one game, but Chelsea already look much better in the middle of the park with him there.<\/p>\n

Caicedo stops attacks, which you can see from his stats. According to Sofascore<\/a>, the Ecuadorian made three successful tackles and two interceptions before being replaced by Romeo Lavia. In total, he made nine defensive contributions, more than any other Chelsea player.<\/p>\n

It is not a coincidence that Chelsea have managed to limit their opponents to just one goal in Caicedo\u2019s first start of the campaign, and they nearly even kept a clean sheet. It is one game, but the former Brighton & Hove Albion man appears to have restored some order to a Chelsea side who have known nothing but chaos this season.<\/p>\n
